you need to explicitely add the newly created Frame as a new "slave" to
the Notebook, then you can tell the Notebook to select the newly created
tab, like this:
myNote.add(tab_frame, text=filename1)
myNote.select(myNote.index('end')-1) # or: myNote.select(
# tab_frame)
Hre you can find a complete reference of the Notebook widget (and other
Tkinter widgets as well :)

I hope this helps!
Best regards
