    The title should be self explanatory.
    I needed Drag-and-drop for a project I was working on, (maybe I shouldn't be refering to it in the past tense as I haven't started yet) so I checked the documentation for tkinter and found:
    3.3.0 b1
    tkinter.dnd
    Drag-and-drop support for tkinter. This is experimental and should become deprecated when it is replaced with the Tk DND.

    3.2.2 (and .2.3)
    tkinter.dnd
    Drag-and-drop support for tkinter. This is experimental and should become deprecated when it is replaced with the Tk DND.

    2.7.3
    Tkdnd
    Drag-and-drop support for Tkinter. This is experimental and should become deprecated when it is replaced with the Tk DND.

    I think that tkinter.dnd needs some documentation, whether or not it is replaced with Tk DND.

    For that matter, none of the following have docs:
    tkinter.colorchooser
    tkinter.commondialog
    tkinter.filedialog
    tkinter.font
    tkinter.messagebox
    tkinter.simpledialog
    tkinter.dnd
    Perhaps this should be remidied? One sentence usualy does not describe the use of an entire module.

    We could at least put links to some documentation.

    There is documentation of these modules, it's just that it's in the modules themselves.

    I opened bpo-25237 for commondialog, messagebox, and colorchooser.
