​Nice! That works out of the box - so no need for extra GTK installs etc.

So, I guess the API for GTK has changed and dropped the Alert function then?

Check out my GitHub repositories for some cool stuff you can do with Pike.

​Will certainly check out.​

QUESTION: is Pike self-contained in the sense that all module functionality
is included (so, no extra installs needed to function)?

Reason is that Python is so difficult to deploy. If I can:
1. install Pike for somebody
2. hand them a Pike script
and then the script runs right out of the box, that would be a huge
improvement over the Python way, where you have to 'pip install' a lot of
extra stuff in many cases ...!

Thx for helping!
