If you need a sledgehammer approach you can bring the other process 
to the front.

_InterfaceLib = calldll.getlibrary('InterfaceLib')

_GetCurrentProcess = calldll.newcall(_InterfaceLib.GetCurrentProcess,
			'None', 'InLong')

_SetFrontProcess = calldll.newcall(_InterfaceLib.SetFrontProcess,
			'OSErr', 'InLong')

def exportart():
	buffer = array.array('c', '\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0')
	ptr = buffer.buffer_info()[0]
	_GetCurrentProcess(ptr)

	Do some apple event stuff

	_SetFrontProcess(ptr)

There has been an alarming increase in the number of things you know
nothing about.
