How can I get images/python windows to appear on top when I run a python script?

I'm using python/anaconda (2.7.10,2.3.0) on osx 10.x and trying to do rapid development on an image processing project. I'm using matplotlib and opencv. Every time I render an image/figure, it does not appear on top and I have to cmd-tab all the way to the end to get to it, causing major headaches; I'd like to know how to fix this. Bonus points if you can give me pointers on a stable python installation for image processing (getting some funny conflicts with opencv library...)

Things I've tried:

  • show()
  • changing the backend (I've tried PDF, Qt4Agg, Qt5Agg, TkAgg, GTKCairo...)
  • updating anaconda/python packages

So... what are my options? Framework installation? Choose some other back end? I get the feeling there must be some setting somewhere that I'm missing, since my friend has a near identical setup without this issue.

  • @Maikflow no. Please read the question. I directly say that I have already tried several backends. – anon01 Aug 22 '15 at 05:30
  • This question is not a duplicate. Rather, trying the fixes suggested elsewhere did not work for me! – anon01 Aug 27 '15 at 03:02
