    The tkinter.tix module was deprecated since Python 3.6, but nether DeprecationWarning nor PendingDeprecationWarning is warned. It should show a message and removal might be scheduled for 3.11/3.12.

    The removal was suggested before but not merged in https://bugs.python.org/issue31371

    I think this would be very helpful as the only places I can find its deprecation are a small note at the top of the Tix Python docs [https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/bd63353] and a news entry a long way down the 3.6 release notes https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html#id7 [https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/ba41c81].

    While I agree with @zachary's comment on bpo-29125 that the injection bug probably would be a reasonable excuse to remove Tix, I believe we should first "properly" deprecate it (I can imagine a few users getting caught out if we remove it without raising a DeprecationWarning in previous versions).

    IMO, bpo-31371 should be reopened once this has been merged to facilitate removal in a future version and allow discussion for which version removal should occur in. I also think that we should back-port this to 3.8/9 to give users more notice than they might otherwise get.

    @wyz23x2, are you alright to write a patch for this? (I assume no-one has any objections given that Tix is already deprecated)

    OK. What should the message be? "tkinter.tix is deprecated (and will be removed in Python 3.x), use tkinter.ttk instead"?

    As I believe planning for removal (including the version this should occur in) is better suited to bpo-31371, I think it would be best to remain non-committal about the version. I would personally prefer something a little more vague (such as below), though as I keep saying, this is just my opinion.

    DeprecationWarning: the tkinter.tix module is deprecated in favour of tkinter.ttk and is set to be removed in the near-future

    It *may* also be nice to clarify in the docs why Tix is deprecated (i.e. unmaintained), though I will leave this (like the deprecation message) at your discretion.

    @epaine The doc (https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.tix.html) states "This Tk extension is unmaintained and should not be used in new code.".

    When this issue was submitted on September 5, 2020, Python 3.9 was still in beta/rc stages. Now 242 days have passed and the developing of 3.11 has started. :)

    Unfortunately this commit has introduced some reference leaks, see:

    Could someone take a look?

    Fixed in #70193 and #70194, which just revert the test.
