Re: py2app + pyqt: Differences between command-line and double-click

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response. I am already calling show() and then raise() (though my SO question didn't make that clear -- sorry about that). I think I'm having a different issue than the one in the link you provided, because my app behaves correctly when
launched from the command line. It only misbehaves when launched from the app-bundle (i.e. when launched with double-click).

For that reason, I suspect that perhaps there may be a subtle difference in the way the app bundle launches the main thread. (Grasping in the dark here...) Any py2app experts out there care to comment?

Hi, I answered on stack overflow too - but the short version is call show() *then also call* raise_() on your main window.

The answer to an earlier version of this question has a couple of links for more background: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3662559/why-does-my-pyqt-application-open-in-the-background-on-mac-os-x

Hi,

I'm using py2app to packages my (cross-platform) PyQt app into a Mac OS X application bundle. (py2app is great, btw!)

I was wondering if anyone could point me to some documentation that explains in detail how a python app bundle's launch process differs from launching the python app directly from the command-line. My app bundle seems to function exactly the same in most respects,
but my main window doesn't activate unless I manually activate the application via command-tab.

I give a few more details in this question on stack overflow:

Any ideas, suggestions, or links would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stuart
