I have just such a window in an appplication of mine. Put this code in
your PythonCard application:

-----begin code-----
class MyMiniFrame(wx.MiniFrame):

    def __init__(
        self, parent, title, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize,
        style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE 
        ):

        wx.MiniFrame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title, pos, size, style)
        panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        txt = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Scanning, please wait...")
        txt.SetPosition((20,10))

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnCloseWindow)

    def OnCloseWindow(self, event):
        self.Destroy()
------end code------

Then to make the window appear, the code I have is this:

-----begin code-----
    def on_scanBtn_mouseClick(self, event):
        win = MyMiniFrame(self, "Wireless Network Scan",
                          style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE | wx.TINY_CAPTION_HORIZ)
        win.SetSize((200, 60))
        win.CenterOnParent(wx.BOTH)
        win.Show(True)
        win.Update()
        win.Refresh()
        wx.Yield()
        
        cmd = '/sbin/iwlist %s scan' % self.iface
        result = commands.getoutput(cmd)
        win.Close()
------end code------

Hope this helps.
