Splash Screen

I've written a little class to be used as a Splash Screen, based on Dialog class:

class Splash(Dialog):
    def __init__(self, cbk, filename, timer, timeout):
        try:
            self.splash_img = Image.open(filename)
            self.canvas = Canvas(redraw_callback = self.handle_redraw)
            Dialog.__init__(self, cbk, u"", self.canvas)
            app.screen = 'full'
            self.refresh()
            timer.after(timeout)
            self.close_app()
            del self.splash_img
            del self.canvas
        except:
            pass
 
    def handle_redraw(self, rect):
        self.canvas.blit(self.splash_img)

Usage example:

main_timer = Ao_timer()
 
def cbk_splash():
    return True
 
#Display my_image.jpg for two seconds
Splash(cbk_splash, u"c:\\my_image.jpg", main_timer, 2)
