Bind failure in ActiveState Python when using tkFileDialog

[Bob Kline]

We have some code which binds events to a Tkinter widget.  Works fine on 
Linux, but fails using the ActiveState Python on Windows.  Here's the 
problem boiled down to the tiniest repro case I can produce:

#!/usr/bin/python
import tkFileDialog, Tkinter
def onKeyPress(event): print "event.char=%s" % event.char
root = Tkinter.Tk()
print "directory = %s" % tkFileDialog.askdirectory()
root.bind('<KeyPress>', onKeyPress)
root.mainloop()
If the line which invokes tkFileDialog.askdirectory() is commented out, 
then the events are caught.  But when the line is left uncommented, 
events are ignored when running ActiveState Python on Windows (but not 
ignored when running on Linux).  Makes no difference whether events are 
bound to root or to some child widget.  Is this a known problem?
