Explicit is better than implicit. Changing windows should be explicit
and not implified by your library.

That’s ugly, and don’t forget that your users aren’t Pythonistas most

That is nice and makes sense, because a global function feels wrong,
at least for me.

Window().focus() is the best IMO.
PS. do you plan a version for non-Windows OSes? Also, €99 is too expensive.
