quoting the link Jeff provided (apparently from "man winfo"):

"On the Macintosh the value has no meaning outside Tk."

I guess (although I do not have any experience with Tkinter on the
Mac) that this value (meaning the "140237681823504") is not recognized by
"Mac-Windows" as a valid window-identifier by the Macintosh's window
manager (or which ever instance may be responsible for that).

Best regards (and a nice Christmas to all of you and your loved ones!)

Michael
