How can I create a simple message box in Python?

Question

I\'m looking for the same effect as alert() in JavaScript.

I wrote a simple web-based interpreter this afternoon using Twisted.web. You basically submit

Answer 1

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "Your text", "Your title", 1)

The last number (here 1) can be change to change window style (not only buttons!):

## Button styles:
# 0 : OK
# 1 : OK | Cancel
# 2 : Abort | Retry | Ignore
# 3 : Yes | No | Cancel
# 4 : Yes | No
# 5 : Retry | No 
# 6 : Cancel | Try Again | Continue

## To also change icon, add these values to previous number
# 16 Stop-sign icon
# 32 Question-mark icon
# 48 Exclamation-point icon
# 64 Information-sign icon consisting of an 'i' in a circle

For example,

ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "That's an error", "Warning!", 16)

will give this:
