Answer 1

You will need to use a 3rd party python GUI library or the pywin32 library. TkInter, the GUI toolkit that comes bundled with python does not support system tray pop ups.

Multiform neutral libraries that support working with the system tray:

• wxPython
• PyGTK
• PyQT

Windows specific library that supports working with the system tray:

• pywin32
