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

You can use pyautogui or pymsgbox:

import pyautogui
pyautogui.alert("This is a message box",title="Hello World")

Using pymsgbox is the same as using pyautogui:

import pymsgbox
pymsgbox.alert("This is a message box",title="Hello World")

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:

Answer 4

check out my python module: pip install quickgui (Requires wxPython, but requires no knowledge of wxPython) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/quickgui

Can create any numbers of inputs,(ratio, checkbox, inputbox), auto arrange them on a single gui.

Answer 5

A recent message box version is the prompt_box module. It has two packages: alert and message. Message gives you greater control over the box, but takes longer to type up.

Example Alert code:

import prompt_box

prompt_box.alert('Hello') #This will output a dialog box with title Neutrino and the 
#text you inputted. The buttons will be Yes, No and Cancel

Example Message code:

import prompt_box

prompt_box.message('Hello', 'Neutrino', 'You pressed yes', 'You pressed no', 'You 
pressed cancel') #The first two are text and title, and the other three are what is 
#printed when you press a certain button

Answer 6

Also you can position the other window before withdrawing it so that you position your message

#!/usr/bin/env python

from Tkinter import *
import tkMessageBox

window = Tk()
window.wm_withdraw()

#message at x:200,y:200
window.geometry("1x1+200+200")#remember its .geometry("WidthxHeight(+or-)X(+or-)Y")
tkMessageBox.showerror(title="error",message="Error Message",parent=window)

#centre screen message
window.geometry("1x1+"+str(window.winfo_screenwidth()/2)+"+"+str(window.winfo_screenheight()/2))
tkMessageBox.showinfo(title="Greetings", message="Hello World!")
