[issue42560] Improve Tkinter Documentation

Ah, I understand now, thank you for the clear explanation @epaine, appreciated. 
Thanks also for the link to Pr. Shipman's docs mirror on tkdocs.

It is not my place to argue what to do in such a case, but please allow me to 
re-emphasize the need for better tkinter documentation. It would, of course be 
imperfect, but not out of place to offer docs for the latest version of python, 
and the latest stable version of Tk? Even those that still have to rely on a 
previous version would surely find it useful.

Thank you for listening.

[issue42560] Improve Tkinter Documentation

2020-12-28 Thread FredInChina


FredInChina  added the comment:

I agree with @MasonGinter, the documentation is somewhat lacking. Relying on 
third parties is fragile - we were fortunate that the University of New Mexico 
Tech docs maintained by Pr. John W. Shipman were 
[salvaged](https://anzeljg.github.io/rin2/book2/2405/docs/tkinter/index.html) 
after his premature death; yet, some important example files were lost.

We now see [effbot.org](effbot.org) "taking a leave"... What other warnings do 
we need?


> "we don't know what Tk version to write them for".  
I don't understand why @epaine; shouldn't the docs be made available for the 
currently maintained version of python?

[issue7057] tkinter doc: more 3.x updates

2020-12-28 Thread FredInChina


FredInChina  added the comment:

Are there good reasons not to close this issue?
It is marked as "easy", but it seems that the problems in reference have either 
been fixed, or died of old age.
