Did you mean formal test code? Or just an example like this:
from tkinter import *
tk = Tk()
bv = BooleanVar()
print(bv.get(), type(bv.get()))
bv.set(True)
print(bv.get(), type(bv.get()))
bv.set(False)
print(bv.get(), type(bv.get()))
### output ###

I think that BooleanVar.set(x) should do bool(x) on its argument (and raise an
exception if this isn't valid) and BooleanVar.get() should return a bool.
Similarly I think that IntVar.set(x) should do int(x) and IntVar.get() should
return an int, and

Oh, and I forgot to say that I think StringVar.set(x) should do str(x) and
StringVar.get() should return a str.

New submission from Mark Summerfield :
The tkinter.messagebox functions, e.g., askyesno(), do not use the
application's icon (if it has one). Nor do they accept a bitmapicon option, so
ISTM that it is "impossible" to set one.
The same is true of tkinter.dialog, but for that it
New submission from Mark Summerfield :
Some of the tkinter convenience dialogs, e.g., tkinter.filedialog.FileDialog,
tkinter.scrolledtext.ScrolledText, tkinter.simpledialog.SimpleDialog,
tkinter.simpledialog.Dialog, and tkinter.simpledialog._QueryDialog. Ideally
they should use ttk.Frame
Mark Summerfield added the comment:
On Linux & Windows every top-level window (including dialogs) normally has an
icon at the left of the title bar. Typically this icon is the application's
icon. But tkinter doesn't provide such an icon and so a system default icon is
used inst
Mark Summerfield added the comment:
According to the Tcl/Tk docs the 'data' field is a string (i.e., for any user
data) and the 'detail' field contains some internal data (so shouldn't be
messed with); see http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/event.htm#M16
