if sys.platform='win32':
os.system('net send <somemachine> <somemessage>')
elif sys.platform[:5]='linux'
os.system('smblcient -M <machine> etc...')
This would be more portable and simpler than the alternatives I've seen.
It would be better if there was just a cross platform library for this protocol so you could just
import winpop
winpop.send (host,message)
Too much to ask?

On Linux, i use the smbclient binary:
from subprocess import *
q=Popen(['smbclient','-M','maggy'],stdin=PIPE)
q.stdin.write('hello!')
q.stdin.close()
q.wait ()
