Using the following code, the messagebox will not close, leaving it on top of all other open windows:

from tkinter import *
rootWin = Tk()
messagebox.showinfo("Title", "foo")


If the root window contains a widget (Label, Entry, Button, etc.), the dialog can close.
Similar results have been obtained with filedialog.
