Tkinter focus under windows

I'm working on a Tkinter backend for the matplotlib plotting software. 
matplotlib can be run interactively from some form of Python shell while
plotting to a Tk window.  One annoyance we've noticed is that when we
update the plot window, it steals the focus from the shell window, at
least on a Win32 platform.

I am very new to Tkinter so I am looking for insight into how the focus
works on win32 and how to prevent the Tkinter window from stealing focus
from the shell window.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Todd Miller
