Project description

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

On Linux Python 2, you need to first install Tkinter by running: sudo apt-get install python-tk

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 asterisks. Returns the text entered, or None if Cancel was clicked.
