Under Windows, they're called "balloon tips". Here's a thread from a
few years back asking for the exact same thing:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/f6f6083650b50f1d/f26db0efc52462f9#f26db0efc52462f9

There's even a working demo linked to at the end of the thread, and the
link is still live.

Thanks for prompting me to look, I've vaguely wanted something like
this for a while :)
