Where does the Tk dependency come from in a default Python install --
The windows installer is the only one that installs the tcl/tk dependency. And we usually stick with the same patchlevel for all bug-fix releases.
Mac comes with tcl/tk installed, but it has usually been an 'older' version with bugs since fixed. There is a page on python.org recommending particular tcl/tk builds (from Active State) for particular Python and OSX versions.
Kevin, it looks like tcl.tk only distributes 8.5 and 8.6. How long has it been since 8.4 was distributed? I am wondering how long tkinter should keep code for pre 8.5.
Also, does 8.6.4 have any new features versus 8.6.0, or just bug fixes, as with Python?
