On OS X 10.6.8, when I execute "idle", I see nothing in the Terminal and the IDLE GUI launches but is not visible until I Command-Tab to the "Python" application. I stumbled upon a solution to this problem using OS X's built-in /usr/bin/osascript utility. Attaching a patch...

I created the patch against the 2.7 branch of hg, but I just tried it with both the 3.2 branch of hg and an installed version of 3.2 and it worked great.

This is really a duplicate of bpo-11571 which gives an easier way to do this directly using Tk calls. I'll see about getting that applied.
