Assuming Tkinter, something like this:

w = Tkinter.Toplevel()
vwidth = w.winfo_vrootwidth()
width = w.winfo_width()
x_string = "+%d" % ((vwidth / 2) - (width / 2))
vheight = w.winfo_vrootheight()
height = w.winfo_height()
y_string = "+%d" % ((vheight / 2) - (height / 2))
w.winfo_toplevel().wm_geometry(x_string+y_string)
