pyvcp panel always on top was created by Wirewrap

When starting a simple pyvcp panel from halrun, how to declare it to be "always on top"?
This can be done by a right click when the panel is already active, but it would be nice to have it as default.
As an example, halmeter, is "always on top".

loadusr -Wn ttt pyvcp -g +1300+100 -c ttt panel.xml

They is no access to this setting in pyvcp.
This would be a good add on.

A way around it if you were very interested is using the program devilspie

I have never worked with python, but googling around some I was lucky to find this similar solution in StackOverflow

So in /usr/bin/pyvcp I blindly changed

Code:

    pyvcp0 = Tk()
    pyvcp0.title(component_name)

to this

Code:

    pyvcp0 = Tk()
    pyvcp0.title(component_name)
    pyvcp0.lift()
    pyvcp0.attributes('-topmost', True)

It solves my problem, if something else breaks I do not know.
