What you could do, in effect, is write your own web browser, using an existing rendering engine. I do not know which rendering engines are how easily used in Tkinter code (possibly none of them). This isn't a job for (traditional, cross-platform) Python. It *may* be possible with pyWin32. It may be easier with the Windows Script Host (which apparently can support Python). I personally would use browser-side JavaScript; it's certainly possible to open a popup of a specific size in JS, not sure about specific position on-screen. Maybe you have to write an extension for Firefox or Chrome. > > > On Sat, Jul 2, 2011 at 7:10 PM, Chris Rebert <c...@rebertia.com > <mailto:c...@rebertia.com>> wrote: > > On Sat, Jul 2, 2011 at 6:21 PM, Dustin Cheung <dustin...@gmail.com > <mailto:dustin...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hey guys, > > I am new to python.
