http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/PCbuild/build_tkinter.py
rev 61127

Is it still in python-devs interest to support building the tree in a
path that contains spaces?  I (pretty much always) do, so if a patch for
this is desired, I can put one together.

Go ahead if you like to work on a patch. I'm +0.

Is this still valid?

I've seen several comments recently about the workaround to this problem being "don't put spaces in paths on Windows", so can we close this as "won't fix"?

build_tkinter.py no longer exists in 3.5, so I'm inclined to close as 'out of date'.
