Python based 'Toaster' animation like Gaim or MSN Messenger?

I'm looking for something that can display a pop-up "toaster" like
animation like Gaim or MSN messenger does to notify of incoming
messages.

There's JToaster ( http://jtoaster.sourceforge.net/ ) for Java...
anything similar for Python?

Thanks!

Ok, cool! There's one for wxPython called ToasterBox (
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/ToasterBox )

I'm more familiar with pyGTK.. so if anyone knows one based on pyGTK,
please let me know! :)

Is there a way I can bring up an entirely PHP-based service on my intranet and then connect to it with Gaim, such as building an AOL IM service clone in PHP, or perhaps a Jabber service in PHP?

I am totally new to Python and WxPython and need to write an application which can open up an external windows from a plug-in within GAIM (using pyGAIM). I have managed to hack some code together from what little I have covered so far, however GAIM refuses to open until I have closed the extra window. I appreciate this is probably a simple point but I would be grateful for any advice people can offer on how I can make them both appear so...

I have been using Python for a short time and I find it a very flexible language, and easy to learn and use. I have also worked some with PyGame and used it to create a simple animation that is controlled by the mouse and keyboard. The animation is designed to move filled circles around on the screen and is driven by a data file that defines (indirectly), the next relative position of each circle. And for my purposes (queueing demo in the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
