Close Windows MEssage box after function call

[ashtona]

Hello, I am trying to simply display a message box on windows 10 while I am copying files/removing directories. I don't need a progress bar or anything super complicated but just simply a window that I open before I begin copying/removing and close after the functions done. Preferably would not like to use tkinter or a gui module, my program does one thing and does not require user input.

I am using shutil.copytree and shutil.rmtree

Thanks!

message boxes are in most cases GUI by default.
A very simple way to do this is to use wxpython.
I wrote this for python 3.6.5 on windows 7, but should work on other OS's
to install wxpython:

pip install wxpython

import wx


class PopUpMsg():
    def __init__(self):
        self.app = wx.App()

    def popup_msg(self, message, title=''):
        """
        Display message in standard wx.MessageDialog
        :param message: (string) Value to be displayed
        :return: None
        """
        msg_dlg = wx.MessageDialog(None, message, title, wx.OK | wx.ICON_ERROR)
        val = msg_dlg.ShowModal()
        msg_dlg.Show()
        msg_dlg.Destroy()
        return val


def testit():
    '''
    Test message class
    :return: None
    '''
    pm = PopUpMsg()
    val = pm.popup_msg(message='Click OK if it will make you happy!', title='Do Nothing Message Box')
    if val == wx.ID_OK:
        print('Yippie')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    testit()

you can import this module into any program, and use code similar to testit wherever you need to display a message
