the PythonWin IDE doesn't work properly when you're running programs that
does their own Windows event handling.  this is a problem with PythonWin, not
with Tkinter or your program.  to solve this, you can either

1) check if you can make PythonWin run the program in a separate process

2) explicitly run the program in its own process (using "python.exe" or "pythonw.exe"),
   from the command line.

3) switch to an IDE that runs Python code in a separate process (such as IDLE,
   Wing, and most other modern IDE:s).
