I've only ever dabbled with Tkinter, so I'm not sure what its syntax
is. However, with wxPython, it's fairly trivial:

<code>

import wx

class MyPopup(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, 'Test Frame',
#size=(450,295),
                 style=wx.STAY_ON_TOP        # forces the window to be
on top / non-modal
                 ##|wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE   # enable this to get the
min/max/close buttons
                 ## |wx.CLOSE_BOX
                 |wx.CAPTION
                 |wx.RESIZE_BORDER)

        btn = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, 'Close')
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.close, btn)
        # display the frame
        self.Show()

    def close(self, event):
        self.Close(True)



if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    MyPopup()
    app.MainLoop()

</code>

I included a close button as it can be a pain to close these suckers
when you disable the default buttons. I read in the last week or two
that there's some Linux variant out there that will display the
minimize button regardless.

If all you want is a non-modal dialog, you might look at the wx.Dialog
widget or one of the popup widgets. There's also a Toaster widget...

I found this link about Tkinter:

Hope that helps you.
