I finally got python built and installed with native Aqua Tkinter (Thank You Tony Lownds!!), and am now playing around with IDLE.  All looks to be well, until I start editing some code.

In the IDLE shell, I import a library (say, Tkinter).  Then, I type the following:

f = Tkinter.Frame(

As soon as I hit the (, the pop-up tip window appears.  The problem is, when this tip window appears, it gets the focus, and I can't type in the shell window anymore.  This is more than a little annoying.

Please tell me that there is some way to get around this behavior.  Is there a workaround that still allows the tooltips to be shown, but have the shell window retain the input focus?

Thanks in advance.
