First, thank you Miguel and klappnase for your patches. But they should be 
provided in different way, as described in Python Developer’s Guide [1].

> I totally disagree of this change on your patch:

This is not my patch. This is regenerated klappnase's. I expected this will 
allow to use the Rietveld Code Review Tool for reviewing, but unfortunately 
Rietveld don't accept these patches [2]. Below I added comments to the patch.

I agree, that all these complications are not needed. Just use getboolean(). It 
always returns bool in recent Python.

And don't bother about _configure(). Just duplicate the code. It can be 
refactored later, in separate issue.

Since this is a new feature, it can added only in developing version (future 
3.7). Forgot about 2.7 and 3.5. If make the patch fast, there is a chance to 
get it in 3.6 (if release manager accept this). But tests are needed.

There was an attempt to deprecate wantobjects=False (issue3015), but it is 
useful for testing and I think third-party program still can use it. If you 
encounter an error because some standard method return Tcl_Object, please file 
a bug. This is considered as a bug, and several similar bugs was fixed in last 
years.

Here are comments to the last klappnase's patch. Please add a serial number to 
your next patch for easier referring patches.

+    def tk_busy(self, **kw):

Shouldn't it be just an alias to tk_busy_hold?

+        '''Queries the busy command configuration options for
+        this window.

PEP 257: "Multi-line docstrings consist of a summary line just like a one-line 
docstring, followed by a blank line, followed by a more elaborate description."

+        any of the values accepted by busy_hold().'''

PEP 257: "Unless the entire docstring fits on a line, place the closing quotes 
on a line by themselves."

+        return(self.tk.call('tk', 'busy', 'cget', self._w, '-'+option))

Don't use parentheses around the return value.

+        the busy cursor can be specified for it by :

Remove a space before colon, add an empty line after it.

+    def tk_busy_hold(self, **kw):

Since the only supported option is cursor, just declare it.

    def tk_busy_hold(self, cursor=None):

+            -cursor cursorName

"-cursor cursorName" is not Python syntax for passing arguments.

+        return((self.tk.getboolean(self.tk.call(
+                'tk', 'busy', 'status', self._w)) and True) or False)

Just return the result of self.tk.getboolean().
