wxPython has a splash page "widget" for this sort of thing. Of course, if all you want to do is display a message to the user for a short time, any GUI library will allow you to create a window of some sort that you can use for that purpose. Note that GUI's tend to run in a loop that may block your calling program, so you may need to mess with threads, in which case each GUI has their own thread-safe methods. It's less complicated then it sounds. I tend to use wxPython the most, so if you have specific questions about that, let me know.
