The code I used for my welcome message at the sfpython "Project Night at Okta" event

welcome.py

import os
import time

import okta

# Get your very own Okta organization at: http://developer.okta.com
client = okta.AuthClient("https://example.okta.com",
                         "your-api-token")


def _large_text(input):
    template = ("osascript -e "
                "'tell application \"Quicksilver\" to "
                "show large type \"{}\"'")
    cmd = template.format(input)
    os.system(cmd)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    _large_text("Hello!")


def greet():
    _large_text("Welcome to Okta!")
    time.sleep(2)
    _large_text("What is Okta? Let me show you:")


def thanks():
    _large_text("Thanks!")
    time.sleep(1)
    _large_text("@jf")
