[issue24759] Idle: require ttk (and tcl/tk 8.5)
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Ttk widgets are partially compatible with Tk widgets, so in many cases it is possible to make partial upgrade without major rewriting. Some changes perhaps need major rewriting (using styles, changing layout), and I think this is what the PEP does not allow. However it is possible that all changes can be done without major rewriting, we don't know until try. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24759 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue24759] Idle: require ttk (and tcl/tk 8.5)
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Re-reading PEP 434, I was mistaken to apply this patch to 2.7 and 3.4 without further discussion. The PEP says The PEP would apply to minor ..., but not necessarily to possible major re-writes such as switching to themed widgets ... . Nick, should I post something on python-ideas or pydev, or continue here (moved from #24750) about making the switch also in 2.7 and 3.4? I believe it would be best overall to at upgrade Idle 2.7, but I will not cry if we stop patching it now. Ditto for 3.4, which will soon get security fixes only anyway. I am ok with using ttk starting with 3.5. -- nosy: +ncoghlan resolution: fixed - stage: resolved - title: Idle: require 8.5 / ttk - Idle: require ttk (and tcl/tk 8.5) ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24759 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Mark Roseman added the comment: Got it re: 2.7/3.4. So the only stumbling block left to 8.5/ttk in 3.5 would be the current Mac build that is ok with Tcl/Tk 8.4...? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24759 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
