Ok, I would like to put together a Python/Tkinter dialog box that

a simple way to do this?

Just, thinking aloud, I probably would do something like registering the
[place|grid|pack]_forget() function by using the alarm callback
'after()' function of that frame.
Yup, after() is your friend:
#---------------------------
from Tkinter import *
from functools import partial
def RemoveWindow(win):
win.destroy()
# root window
root = Tk()
Label(root, text="this is the main window").pack()
# another top-level window, to be removed in 2 seconds
top = Toplevel()
Label(top, text="this is the window to be removed").pack()
root.after(2000, partial(RemoveWindow, top))
# go
root.mainloop()
#---------------------------
HTH,
John
