Windows Notification Library

I am developing a small taskbar icon application for Windows, and I need to display non-intrusive visual notifications similar to those that appear when you receive a new message in MSN Messenger or in any other IM application.

Are you developing an application in Python? It depends on which GUI tool you are using.

If you are using wxPython, you can try ToasterBox or wxPopupWindow.
