    Is there a way to show a dialog box in Python without Tk, wx-python, etc? Is there something similar to AppleScript's "display dialog" I could use?

    Run the 'osascript' command from Python.

    Example shell command line:
    Code:
    osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Explode the penguin now?"'
    I assume you know how to open the man page for osascript, how to run subprocesses in Python, etc.

    Thanks, I just tried:
    Code:
    osascript -e 'display dialog "Hello world"'
    It works now with system events, thanks!
