Beginner's popups in vanilla Python program

I'm having a lot of fun getting started with Python ... it is the most
elegant and graceful language I have ever used (Fortran, Cobol, Basic, many
assemblers, Forth, C, VB, etc.).  I don't have the resources or the
research time to buy a stack of books, so I'm begging help here.  Please be
graciously patient.

I want to edit and run a SIMPLE beginner's program from the IDLE GUI.
Within the program, I want to pop up a Windows modal dialog box with a
message "Is this a test?"; a title "Test Query"; and I want YES|NO buttons
to exit and pass a yes|no boolean back to the program.  The program will
then pop up a second dialog message box "You selected (yes or no)" with
title "Response:" with a close button.  I don't really care if there is a
"parent(?)" frame on the screen (but I prefer not) for the duration of the
program, as long as it is terminated properly before the program ends.

Here is everything but the popups:

   # Program: Beginners_Popups.py ... "Hello World" for popups

   # Import and set up the tk/WX/?? popups here.
   # As minimal as is possible

   print "Begin program"
   # Prepare the basic programmatic messages
   strMess1 = "Is this a Test?"
   strTitle1 = "Test Query"
   strResponse = "You selected "
   strTitle2 = "Response:"

# 1st popup goes here:
# Message = strMess1
# Title = strTitle1
# YES|NO buttons Returning Boolean boolVar

   # Build the appropriate response
   if boolVar:
       strResponse += "YES"
   else:
       strResponse += "NO"

# 2nd popup goes here:
# Message = strResponse
# Title = strTitle2
# and close button

   print "End of Program"


Once I get this far, I will have the guts of everything I need (for now!).
I just can't seem to find enough beginner's information for the simple
popup pieces.  I know I'm trying to incorporate Windows stuff in a DOS type
environment, but I'm sure it can be done.

I already have a filter written in Python to read and parse a directory of
files into a dictionary of location #s and file names, read in a master
location list, and create a text file of an HTML table with file links in
the cells.  I have about 120 locations to deal with, and it is working
great.  I just need a couple of primitive user interface points, and popups
are standard.

Thank you for your gracious comments, suggestions, assistance, and even
criticisms.

        Blessings in abundance, all the best, and ENJOY!
