Hello World with pywin

[Helge Stenstrom]

I'd like to do something similar to a Hello World program, namely a
few Windows error messages, as jokes. (Something similar to
http://shotgun.shacknet.nu:81/noterror.jpg)

Hopefully, Python is a good tool for this, but I haven't found any
good examples.

Can someone point me to Hello World examples with a Windows window,
some text, and one or two buttons. The Tk logo should not be visible,
so I suppose that I should use pywin or win32ui or something similar.

many thanks,
Helge

I did a hello world using a browser window without a gui

AFIK, this is the smallest working Python download at 382 K.

This 'program'

"""
import os
from ctypes import windll

windll.user32.M essageBoxA(None ,
"Current directory is %s" % os.getcwd(),
"Hello from python", 0)
"""

can be run through py2exe and the result packed (after running UPX over
it) into a 433 k zipfile. It uses the python 2.3 dll, which is somewhat
larger than 2.2.
