You can call GetConsoleWindow [1] and then SetForegroundWindow [2]. import os import sys try: import tkinter from tkinter import filedialog except ImportError: import Tkinter as tkinter import tkFileDialog as filedialog input = raw_input if sys.platform == 'win32': import ctypes kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL('kernel32') user32 = ctypes.WinDLL('user32') def setfgwin(): hcon = kernel32.GetConsoleWindow() if hcon and user32.SetForegroundWindow(hcon): return True return False def get_filename(): filename = filedialog.askopenfilename() setfgwin() return os.path.normpath(filename) if __name__ == '__main__': root = tkinter.Tk() root.withdraw() filename = get_filename() print('filename: %s' % filename) input('press enter...')
