Creating a message box in Python can be done easily using libraries like tkinter, which is included in the standard library.

To create a message box in Python, ensure you have Python and the tkinter library installed. Most distributions include tkinter by default.

To check for its installation, you can run a specific command:

python -m tkinter

Let's start by creating a function that will display the message box.

import tkinter
import tkinter.messagebox

def msgbox(msg):
    window = tkinter.Tk()
    window.wm_withdraw()
    tkinter.messagebox.showinfo(title="Information", message=msg)
    window.destroy()
    return None

To use the msgbox function, just call it and pass the message you want to display.

msgbox("Welcom to foxlearn.com !")

The tutorial explains how to create message boxes in Python using the Tkinter library. It highlights that this process is straightforward and effective for communicating with users in applications.

You could use an import and single line code like this:

import ctypes  # An included library with Python install.   
ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "Welcome :)", "Message", 1)

Or you can define a function Msbox like this:

import ctypes  # An included library with Python install.
def Msbox(title, text, style):
    return ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, text, title, style)
Msbox('Python !!!', 'Message', 1)

Noted:

##  Styles:
0 : OK
1 : OK | Cancel
2 : Abort | Retry | Ignore
3 : Yes | No | Cancel
4 : Yes | No
5 : Retry | Cancel 
6 : Cancel | Try Again | Continue

You can also use pyautogui or pymsgbox

import pyautogui
pyautogui.alert("This is a message box using pyautogui", title="Message")

Using pymsgbox is the same as using pyautogui:

import pymsgbox
pymsgbox.alert("This is a message box using pymsgbox",title="Message")

By following the steps provided, you can seamlessly incorporate message boxes to improve user experience or assist in debugging your Python projects.
