EasyDialogs in MacOSX Tiger

[Ian A. York]

When I use EasyDialogs.Message in OSX (10.4.2), I have to manually switch 
to Python, the icon for which jumps in the dock until I click it.  This is 
the case using pythonw with either 2.3 or 2.4.  

This question has come up before ("EasyDialogs module problem with python 
2.4.1", April 18/05), and the answer that was give then was 

 One application is "active" at any point in time, and this application 
 controls the menu, has its windows displayed, and so on. So when the 
 Terminal.app is active, Python cannot be.

However, this is new behaviour.  Wen I used EasyDialogs in earlier 
versions of OSX (10.3 and 10.2) this did not happen; the EasyDialogs 
dialog box popped up at once with no further interaction required.  Unless 
MacOSX has changed its use of "active" applications, then, I think this 
explanation isn't correct.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make EasyDialogs work the way it 
used to in OS 10.3?
