Matthias Kievernagel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I no longer know what I meant with "document string is broken". It is not very clear, but not broken. It does not specify clearly the return value in the case of 'without arguments'.
The problem is still present in trunk. Problem is as far as I understand it: Some return values from tcl are strings that may contain spaces (or are even certain to contain spaces). They are nonetheless translated to a Python tuple by Tcl_SplitList in _tkinter.c. There is no difference in syntax between tcl lists and tcl strings (with spaces). You have to have contextual knowledge to do the right thing. This knowledge cannot be attached to itemconfigure alone (for reconstitution of strings) because then information about whitespace is already lost. For return values known to be strings _tkinter/TkApp_SplitList must not be used. So I think it's a more general bug related to tcl string return values. Other Tkinter bugs may have the same explanation. Don't know how to resolve this without a lot of work.
