My guess is that tkinter as shipped with Python 3.6.8 and 3.7.7 and 3.8.2 would need careful testing. The macOS interface via Tcl/Tk is undergoing work - at present, the ball is in the court of the developers of Tcl/Tk. See IDLE and tkinter with Tcl/Tk on macOS, which documents that python.org Python installers for versions 3.8.0+, 3.7.2+, 3.6.8 all ship with built-in Tcl/Tk 8.6.8. See Python bug tracker issue 35402 <https://bugs.python.org/issue35402>, which documents reverting the use of Tcl/Tk 8.6.9.1, and Python bug tracker issue 35485 <https://bugs.python.org/issue35485>, which documents specific problems and gives a reference to the Tcl/Tk ticket <http://ef9c3730e38d240eb4dd8dd806279ab0ae652729> that documents the problem. The current release of Tcl/Tk is 8.6.10; that dates from November of 2019, and it hasn't been tried with Python as yet, but I see on the timeline for Tcl/Tk <https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/timeline?y=ci> that work on the macOS interface is under way as I type this in May of 2020, so the bundled Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 won't be upgraded immediately. The developers are working around macOS bugs, and Apple is changing the operating system significantly, so their work is not easy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
