"Lift" (which calls the Tk command "raise") doesn't work this way, at least not under Aqua. If your application has focus, "lift" will raise the widget being called to the top of the stacking order. However, it will not make the application frontmost. To do this you'd have to use Carbon calls (look at Carbon.CarbonEvt) or use a Tk extension and call it from Python. Of course, this is pretty much a non-issue if your application is wrapped as a standard Mac application bundle via py2app--most Mac users don't run Python apps from the Terminal but instead double-click an application icon. In that event, "lift" should work fine, because the application will already have focus. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
