Tkinter messagebox without window?

Question

I want to show an info window in my python script running on ubuntu. I\'m using the following code:

import tkMessageBox
tkMessageBox.showinfo(\"Say Hello\",          


        

Answer 1

To avoid a "flash" as the root window is created, use this slight variation on the accepted answer:

import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.overrideredirect(1)
root.withdraw()
tkMessageBox.showinfo("Say Hello", "Hello World")
