I have a Tkinter program and running it like: python myWindow.py starts it all right, but the window is behind the terminal that I use to start it.
Is there a way to make it grab the focus and be the foreground application? Does it depend on the platform?

By using the focus_set() method, we can activate the focus on any widget and give them priority while executing the application.
To manage and give focus to a particular widget, we generally use the focus_set() method. It focuses the widget and makes them active until the termination of the program.
In Tkinter, minsize() method is used to set the minimum size of the Tkinter window. Using this method user can set window's initialized size to its minimum size, and still be able to maximize and scale the window larger. Here, height and width are in pixels.
In order to place a tkinter window at the center of the screen, we can use the PlaceWindow method in which we can pass the toplevel window as an argument and add it into the center. We can also set the window to its center programmatically by defining its geometry.
This might be a feature of your particular window manager. One thing to try is for your app to call focus_force at startup, after all the widgets have been created.
