Summary: wm_attributes doesn't take keyword arguments
Initial Comment:
The Tk wm attributes command takes option arguments
(from the Tk wm manual page):
wm attributes window ?option value option value...?
And option arguments are normally given with keyword
arguments in Tkinter (most if not all widget creation
functions and widget commands). The attached patch
changes the wm_attributes method to take keyword
arguments, so top.wm_attributes(alpha=.8) will work as
expected (on Windows XP and Mac OS X).

I do not have winXP or OSX available to actually test it,
but I doubt that
top.wm_attributes('alpha',.8)
will work; from Tk documentation it looks like you will have
to write
top.wm_attributes('-alpha',.8)
which is in fact not what one would expect.
Maybe a better solution than Greg's patch was to change
wm_attributes() to accept both ways, like:
def wm_attributes(self, *args, **kw):
args = ('wm', 'attributes', self._w) + args +
self._options({}, kw)
return self.tk.call(args)
so that old code will not break and the more intuitive
version that Greg suggested is also legal.

This is an incompatible change. I also don't see the point;
top.wm_attributes('alpha',.8)
should work just fine, no?
