How to bring Tkinter window in front of other windows?
Question: I'm working with some Tkinter Python code (Python 3.4), and I've come across a
problem. When I create my Tkinter window it doesn't show up in front. I do it
currently with the following code:

    
    
    from tkinter import *
    win = Tk()
    win.minsize(width=1440, height=828)
    win.maxsize(width=1440, height=828)
    

The `minsize()` and `maxsize()` make the window cover my entire screen, but
the original python running window (The one that would`print("Hello,
World!")`) ends up on top. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running OS X
10.10.1.


Answer: Set it as the _topmost_ (but it will always stay in front of the others):

    
    
    win.attributes('-topmost', True) # note - before topmost
    

To not make it _always_ in front of the others, insert this code before the
mainloop:

    
    
    win.lift()
    win.attributes('-topmost', True)
    win.attributes('-topmost', False)
    

Don't forget `win.mainloop()` at the end of your code (even if in some cases
it's not explicitly required)
