Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I understand the reluctance to generically encourage something that does not
always arise. With Nick's promise to help examine any particular problems with
deletion of tkinter modules, should they arise, I feel comfortable closing
this. I already tested and applied double deletion to both 3.5 and 3.6.
The tkinter import example illustrates potential benefits from refactoring
(which I will continue in #27534). For me, on Win10, 'import tkinter' in a
fresh interactive interpreter boosts 'len(sys.modules) from 41 to 65. Except
when run cannot start, it only uses tkinter to call
_tkinter.tkapp().eval('update') in its interactive input loop. Importing
_tkinter instead (a slight risk) would not import anything else.
Guido: when I need help with some of the more obscure IDLE code, I will ask.
