wx.lib.busy.BusyInfo

This class is just like wx.BusyInfo, except that its default size is smaller, (unless the size of the message requires a larger window size) and the background and foreground colors of the message box can be set.

Creating an instace of the class will create and show a window with the given message, and when the instance is deleted then that window will be closed. This class also implements the context manager magic methods, so it can be used with Python’s with statement, like this:

with BusyInfo('Please wait...'):
    doSomethingThatNeedsWaiting()
