<div>Is there a Windows API call I can use to display a BMP or a PNG
file in a window centered on a user's display? This function would be
called from a console app to display a splash screen.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Motivation: I would like some of our customer facing Python
console utilities to display a splash screen. I don't need the
complexity of a full GUI framework like wxPython or pyQT and hopefully
I can avoid the need to use a full library like PIL.</div>

There are ways to significantly reduce the wxPython footprint in your
py2exe binary. Ask on the mailing list. Steven Sproat was talking about
some methods last month and I think he said he had an exe that was 5 or
7 MB when he was done.<br>
