Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: The placement of Tk windows is dependent on the version of Tk and platform window manager. The Aqua Tk version on Mac OS X run as a separate GUI application process and so, as is customary, the focus and window stacking does not change when it is launched. The platform-independent way to ensure the newly-created Tk window is on top is to set the "topmost" attribute on the root window:
tk = _tkinter.create(os.environ['DISPLAY'], 'wish', 'Tk', 1) tk.call('update') tk.call('wm', 'attributes', '.', '-topmost', '1') ... http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/wm.htm#M10 I suppose we could add something like that to IDLE on OS X when it creates its initial shell window. ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren -> ned.deily nosy: +ned.deily stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9384> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
