Set focus on Tkinter window (depends on platform?)
This might be a feature of your particular window manager. One thing to try is for your app to call focus_force at startup, after all the widgets have been created.
Have you tried this at the end of your script ?
root.iconify()root.update()root.deiconify()root.mainloop()
Somewhat of a combination of various other methods found online, this works on OS X 10.11, and Python 3.5.1 running in a venv, and should work on other platforms too. On OS X, it also targets the app by process id rather than app name.
from tkinter import Tkimport osimport subprocessimport platformdef raise_app(root: Tk): root.attributes("-topmost", True) if platform.system() == 'Darwin': tmpl = 'tell application "System Events" to set frontmost of every process whose unix id is {} to true' script = tmpl.format(os.getpid()) output = subprocess.check_call(['/usr/bin/osascript', '-e', script]) root.after(0, lambda: root.attributes("-topmost", False))You call it right before the mainloop() call, like so:
raise_app(root)root.mainloop()
