New submission from Alex McNerney <amcnerne...@yahoo.com>:

Info: I have Python 2.7.1:86832 (32-bit) installed using ActiveState Tcl/Tk 
8.5.9 on Mac OS X 10.6

Problem:
Whenever I try to run (from the IDLE) a Python script using the turtle module, 
the window that shows up will draw anything passed to it, but it will not come 
to the front using the listen() function, nor will clicking on the window do 
anything more than cause the spinning beach ball to appear. Because it does not 
come the the foreground, functions like onkey() and onclick() are completely 
unusable.

However, when said Python script is run from the Terminal, the window is 
completely responsive. I believe this to be some sort of problem with the 
IDLE.app

Things that I have tried:
Tried different versions of tcl/tk: 8.4.19, 8.4.7, 8.5.9
Tried different versions of Python 2.7.1: 32-bit, 32/64-bit, 32-bit compiled 
from source.

Other things that may be useful:
This probably has no relevancy, but just in case:
In the .mpkg installed Python 2.7.1 (32-bit), the IDLE says the GCC version is 
4.0.1
In the source compiled version, it says 4.2.1

It is quite annoying to not be able to use the IDLE to create and test programs 
using the turtle module. Please help.
