------------------------------+-----------------------------
IPython allows running Tkinter (and many other GUI toolkits) so that the
GUI doesn't block the IPython interpreter. In Sage 5.10 and earlier this
worked in Sage's interpreter as well as vanilla IPython. However, in Sage
5.11 it only works in vanilla IPython. A minimal example (for both Linux
and OS X) is:
{{{
sage: import Tkinter
sage: root = Tkinter.Tk()
}}}
Pre version 5.11, this brings up a small window titled "tk"; in Sage 5.11
it does nothing. In 5.11 you can manually start the Tk gui via:
{{{
sage: root.mainloop()
}}}
but you don't get a new interpreter prompt until you quit the Tk GUI.
I strongly suspect the issue is the new IPython inputhook (in
"sage/misc/inputhook.pyx") that was added in Sage 5.11 as part of #14523.
