I have created a script in Python which notifies me at a given event. I am using the following function to produce the warning window:
def window_warn():
    '''
    This function will throw up a window with some text
    '''
    #These two lines get rid of tk root window
    root = Tkinter.Tk()
    root.withdraw()
    #tkMessageBox.deiconify() 
    TkMessageBox.showwarning("New Case", "You have a new case\n Please restart pycheck")
    return
The window draws fine, but when I click ok, the window stays in place with the button depressed. Im using xfce. Is there anyway to get the window to close after ok is clicked?
A comment indicated this may be to do with surrounding code, so for completeness:
print "Just started newcase check"
while True:
    if "Uncommitted" in webpage:
        print "oh look, 'Uncommitted' is in the url returned from the last function"
        #If this hits we call a notification window
        window_warn()
        print "sleeping"
        time.sleep(10)
        webpage = scrape_page()
    else:
        print "nothing"
        time.sleep(20)
        webpage = scrape_page()
