You mean like a for loop? ;)

   def show_message(msg):
       win = create_window(msg)
       for step in animate(win, xrange(10)): # slide down
           yield step
       yield Timeout(3)
       for step in animate(win, xrange(10, 0, -1)): # slide up
           yield step
       win.destroy()

Cheers,
Nick.
