closing tkmessagebox after some time in python

问题

I am developing an automated attendance system where when a student scans his RFID tag, his attendance is recorded while showing a welcoming message using a tkmessagebox pop-up. The user will not have control of a mouse or keyboard and I would like to keep the message showing for 2 seconds and delete the message box. Is there a way I can close the tkmessagebox pop-up like proposed?

I don't think that it can be done with tkMessageBox because this creates a modal dialog, and you do not have access to the widget id (so that it can be programmatically destroyed).

But it's not hard to create your own top level window, add some welcome message to it, then close it after a time period. Something like this:

from Tkinter import *

WELCOME_MSG = '''Welcome to this event.

Your attendance has been registered.

Don't forget your free lunch.'''
WELCOME_DURATION = 2000

def welcome():
    top = Toplevel()
    top.title('Welcome')
    Message(top, text=WELCOME_MSG, padx=20, pady=20).pack()
    top.after(WELCOME_DURATION, top.destroy)

root = Tk()
Button(root, text="Click to register", command=welcome).pack()

root.mainloop()

You need to hook up an event handler to the RFID detection. This is simulated by a button in the above code, and the event handler is the welcome() function. In welcome() a top level widget with a message is created. The top level widget is destroyed after 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) using .after() which registers a callback function to be called after a delay.

With Python3, you have to call the Toplevel() with the import name, Like :

import tkinter

top = tkinter.Toplevel()
