Ned Deily added the comment: Due to our maintenance release compatibility guidelines, I don't think it is possible to change the Tcl/Tk versions for currently released Python versions (e.g 3.5.x, 3.4.x, and 2.7.x), or, at least, it is not possible to remove support for 8.5 in them. To do so would break important existing third-party packages which supply binary distributions (as wheels or as binary installers). So the target for shipping python.org OS X Pythons built with (and including) an 8.6 Tcl/Tk would be in the next feature release, 3.6. There *might* be ways to include 8.6 as an option with future maintenance releases but it would have to be without breaking current 8.5 (or 8.4) binary support. In any case, for 3.6 there will likely be major changes in how we ship pre-built Pythons for OS X.
