Tkinter activation workaround

osx_tkinter_workaround.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

## This script demonstrates a workaround for the Tkinter (Tcl/Tk?) activation
## bug under OS X. More on that here:

from easygui import msgbox
from subprocess import Popen
from Tkinter import Tk

## Bring easygui to foreground
# First we need to create a window to activate the Python.app
Tk().destroy()
# Next we activate it
Popen(['osascript', '-e', 'tell application "Python" to activate'])

## Start using Tkinter/EasyGUI/Grun with the interface in the Foreground
msgbox('Hello world!')

Works for me on OSX 10.7.3 Lion. Thank you!
