For users with GTK enabled GUIs (like me on Linux + GNOME desktop) the zenity command (http://directory.fsf.org/zenity.html) enables opening popup windows with icons related to message type (info, error, etc.) That's really a small sub-project : using sys.platform to launch platform-specific shell command for GUI notification of server events , based on output of the start script.
