Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

After looking into these two test failures a bit more, it looks like both are 
due to regressions and/or bugs in the ActiveState Tk 8.5.9 Cocoa behavior 
versus the Apple Cocoa Tk 8.5.7, with which neither test fails.

The test_tab_identifiers failure may be a test case error where the test is 
making unwarranted assumptions about how the Notebook widget lays out its tabs.

The test_traversal failure may need to be modified to use a different key 
modifier for OS X (<alt> -> <option>) but there appears to be a deeper problem 
within Cocoa Tk on how the traversal is implemented (hint, option-char can run 
into the dead key problem documented in Issue10973).

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/tkinter.ttk.html#tkinter.ttk.Notebook.enable_traversal

Neither of these failures appear to indicate any problems with tkinter itself.  
At this stage in the 3.2 cycle, the failures can either be ignored or, if 
necessary, conditionally disabled for platform 'darwin'. This should be a 
release manager call.  Otherwise, the next step would be to isolate further and 
report as possible upstream bugs.

Also, the "setCanCycle: is deprecated" warnings have subsequently been shown to 
be avoidable by a change in the upstream Tcl/Tk build process and are expected 
to disappear in the next release of ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.
