Project description

A simple, cross-platform, pure Python module for JavaScript-like message boxes.

To import, run:

>>> from pymsgbox import *`

There are four functions in PyMsgBox, which follow JavaScript’s message box naming conventions:

>>> alert(text='', title='', button='OK')`

Displays a simple message box with text and a single OK button. Returns the text of the button clicked on.

>>> confirm(text='', title='', buttons=['OK', 'Cancel'])`

Displays a message box with OK and Cancel buttons. Number and text of buttons can be customized. Returns the text of the button clicked on.

>>> prompt(text='', title='' , defaultValue='')`

Displays a message box with text input, and OK & Cancel buttons. Returns the text entered, or None if Cancel was clicked.

>>> password(text='', title='', defaultValue='', mask='*')`

Displays a message box with text input, and OK & Cancel buttons. Typed characters appear as *. Returns the text entered, or None if Cancel was clicked.

You can also use your platform’s native system calls for displaying a message box with the OS’s look-and-feel. (Currently this is only supported by alert() and confirm() on Windows.)

>>> import pymsgbox.native as pymsgbox
