Sorry, I replied somewhat hastily. Good catch, that does seem to be a new problem. I haven't been building and testing as much with 10.6's built-in Tk 8.5 because it has been so problematic with IDLE. I did verify that this doesn't show up with a 10.6.4 rc2 / Tk 8.5 build that I have. On the other hand, test_tcl seems to run OK when run by itself and IDLE seems to work as well as it usually does with the built-in 8.5. I suspect the test failure is due to changes in the way regrtest.py and friends run tests but I'll look into it further. If you feel like opening an issue on the tracker, great, otherwise I will after I've investigated it more. As to the other test failures you subsequently reported, the test_asynchat and test_smtplib failures are long-standing minor problems that have been corrected in 2.7 but not backported to 2.6. The test_closerange failure appears to be intermittent and also doesn't fail when run by itself. But it's also worth looking into, which I will do.
