I tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 using python 2.7 and easygui version .96-3.

It worked for me using the following code in idle but should also work 
in the python interpreter shell:

Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
 >>> import easygui
 >>> easygui.msgbox("Hello There")
'OK'
 >>>

A popup box came up and I could press OK in the box and the box would 
disappear.

I wonder if you are running this in a text only environment and that is 
why the box is not showing up.

I am still a newbie when it comes to programming but I am willing to 
help if I can.

Good luck George,

Eric
