How to put a tkinter window on top of the others?
I got into same issue today. OSX LION 10.7.2. Add this code before mainloop() solves the issue.
root.call('wm', 'attributes', '.', '-topmost', '1')but the window always remains on top of the others until you close it. For real solve, we need to make it an app bundle, with py2app.
For OS X 10.8.3, the combination of the answers provided by vdbuilder and user2435139 did the trick for me, i.e.
self.root.lift()self.root.call('wm', 'attributes', '.', '-topmost', True)self.root.after_idle(self.root.call, 'wm', 'attributes', '.', '-topmost', False)called before
self.root.mainloop()
