[Pythonmac-SIG] Help with TKinter under 10.3

[Bob Ippolito]

You need to run with the script or start the interpreter with "pythonw" 
not "python".  SetFrontProcess -606 is a sign that it needs Window 
Manager access.

See the "What is pythonw? When do I need to use it?" FAQ entry at 
http://pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ
