To do this in wxPython is approximately 10 lines of code, maybe 20 at the
most.
Actually- the # of lines to do this in wxPython is less than your original
email.
class SketchApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
bmp = wx.Image("splash.png").ConvertToBitmap()
wx.SplashScreen(bmp, wx.SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | wx.SPLASH_TIMEOUT,
1000, None, -1)
wx.Yield()
frame = SketchFrame(None)
frame.Show(True)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
return True
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = SketchApp(False)
app.MainLoop()
This is barebones, taken from wxPython In Action- ideally you should have
some minimal exception handling
to make your app more robust.
