Dialogue boxes pop up new windows for gathering information. If you
want a more permanent second window, then the Toplevel() widget is
like a frame, but is a separte window with window manager
decorations, can be sparately iconfied etc.

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title('Root')
rootlabel = Label(root, text = 'This is the root window', relief = RIDGE)
rootlabel.pack(side = TOP, fill = BOTH, expand = YES)
other = Toplevel()
other.title('Second Window')
otherlabel = Label(other, text = 'This is the other window', relief = RIDGE)
otherlabel.pack(side = TOP, fill = BOTH, expand = YES)
root.mainloop()
