You can use wx.BusyInfo or wx.lib.agw.pybusyinfo. Here’s a sample that shows a non-modal message for 3 seconds. To get rid of the messagebox dialog, simply set its name ref to None.

import time

import wx
import wx.lib.agw.pybusyinfo as PBI

def showmsg():
    app = wx.App(redirect=False)
    msg = 'this is a test'
    title = 'Message!'
    d = PBI.PyBusyInfo(msg, title=title)
    return d    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    d = showmsg()
    time.sleep(3)
    d = None

good luck,
