Ttk has a spinbox widget, which is a themed version of Tkinter spinbox, but this is missing from Python's ttk implementation.

As said in review, I would like to see this added unless there is a good reason for the omission. Still needed are patches for doc and tests.

Needed tests, documentation, etc.

This may be a race condition depended on window manager or speed of CPU or GPU.

This is because of HiDPI display. Mouse events are generated with pixel coordinates (x=width - 5, y=5), but these coordinates are out of a button on scaled widget.
msg311802 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-02-07 20:41
If set DPI to low value, the size of a spinbox widget (winfo_width(), winfo_height()) is (185, 20), and the test is passed. If set it to high value, the size is (305, 30), and the test is failed.
msg311803 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-02-07 21:21
I have fixed tests on HiDPI displays. Two issues are left:

1. test_command still fails randomly. Seems adding update_idletasks() invocation fixes this. And calling pack() looks redundant.

2. Following warnings are emitted:

SpinboxTest.OPTIONS doesn't contain "exportselection"
SpinboxTest.OPTIONS doesn't contain "font"
SpinboxTest.OPTIONS doesn't contain "foreground"

Just add these options to the list. Maybe conditionally if they are not supported in 8.5.
msg311807 - (view) Author: Alan Moore (Alan Moore) * Date: 2018-02-07 21:58
Thanks, I'm guessing  the update_idletasks() needed to be called after 
changing the value of command, since the button clicks do this as part 
of the method. If that's not right, let me know.

I've added the options to the list and pushed the changes to the PR.

All tests are passed.

Ned, is it possible to get this feature in 3.7? I didn't have possibility to merge it before 3.7b1. This is just an addition of a simple class. It should be added years ago, it was not added before just due to oversight. This doesn't affect any other code, but may be used in future enhancements of IDLE.
msg311853 - (view) Author: Ned Deily (ned.deily) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-02-08 21:56
It is past the feature code cutoff for 3.7.0 but the risks seem low and the benefit reasonably high.  Please make sure it is merged ASAP to allow time for buildbot exposure, etc, prior to 370b2.
