C:\Users\sholden>\python31\python \python31\Tools\webchecker\wcgui.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\python31\Tools\webchecker\wcgui.py", line 63, in <module>
    from Tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

This makes is seem pretty clear that not even minimal effort has been expended to ensure that this Tools is functional. It's not a priority, so that's understandable. Maybe I am the only person who ever tried to use this under Python 3.

Perhaps we need a test that will fail if these things don't at least run to completion (and no, I don't know how I would test wcgui, but I'd be interested in discussing test strategies)?

Webchecker is so old, it should be deleted.

I opened a bug about testing demos and tools: #9153.

There was already a bug about cleaning up demos, #7962, so I’ve made it into a meta-bug for demos and tools, superseding this one. Steve, I’m adding you to the nosy there, but I don’t feel confident enough to raise the severity or add other people to nosy.
