Yes, most likely. I believe the binary installers from
Python.org <http://Python.org/> still
link against 8.4 by default--anything else requires you to build
your own.
The binary installers link to 8.4, and that won't change until
all supported versions of OSX ship with a newer version of Tk.
I'm willing to ship a version of tkinter that links with 8.5, but
only if someone provides a patch that enables linking to both 8.4
and 8.5 (in two different builds of _tkinter) and automaticly
selects the right version to use.
What I'm thinking of is:
have _tkinterpy that does:
try:
from _tkinter85 import *
except ImportError:
from _tkinter84 import *
Then patch setup.py to build _tkinter84.so and _tkinter85.so from
_tkinter.c while linking to the right version of Tk. This should
only be done when a special configure argument is present, if it
isn't setup.py should default to building _tkinter.so like it
currently does.
That sounds great!
Cool. When can I expect a patch ;-)
Judging by the progress of my current good intentions for learning to
contribute to the C parts of CPython it will only be a few years now... :-(
