Python + Windows: How to write a script that pops up a reminder on computer sleep/shutdown?

Question

I want to write a Python script that will remind me to take my medicine on sleep/shutdown. (just a simple pop up message). Where do I begin?

(I'm looking for a really simple implementation if it exists. I don't want to put too much effort into this)

Must it be a python script? I'm sure there is a very simple registry key to edit to achieve this. — Anti Earth, Aug 18 '12 at 22:28
I'm with @AntiEarth on this one. Using Python to do this is analogous to using a pocket knife as a paperweight. — Joel Cornett, Aug 18 '12 at 22:33
Thanks. Will open it for other options in a new question. If it's really easier I will go with this. — user429400, Aug 19 '12 at 15:39

And this will pop up notice

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
w = Label(root, text="Take your Medicine \n :):)...Get Well Soon...")
w.pack()
root.mainloop()
