Ideas about how to create a splash screen using PyGObject?

Any ideas about how to create a splash screen for my application using Python3 and PyGObject ? For example : Like the GIMP's slpash screen. In my case, i used time.sleep(...) and it makes my application start very slowly. I'm wondering if should i thread the slpash screen Gui. I've searched in websites and i didn't find any solution. Thanks for your answers. And sorry for my bad english.

Solution
    1. create a window
    2. will it with your content
    3. open it
    4. force it to show
    5. set a timeout to close said window at a later time
    6. proceed with initialisation
