tkSimpleDialog displays blank rectangle and hangs with version 2.7.  Works fine on version 2.6.  In attached program, click on button labeled "Press this Button" which will call tkSimpleDialog.

I confirmed that the problem does not exist under Win XP using python 2.7.2.

The problem is not with Python 2.7 per se. It's a problem when running on OS X with a Python linked with the current Aqua Cocoa Tk 8.5, such as the ActiveState Tcl/Tk.  Your test case works OK when using the current 32-bit-only Python 2.7.2 from python.org which links with the older Aqua Carbon Tk 8.4.  Unfortunately, this is not the first of these kinds of problems reported.

Closing because this issue is a bug in Tk, not a bug in Python.
