I think that BooleanVar.set(x) should do bool(x) on its argument (and raise an exception if this isn't valid) and BooleanVar.get() should return a bool. Similarly I think that IntVar.set(x) should do int(x) and IntVar.get() should return an int, and that DoubleVar.set(x) should do float(x) and should return a float. I will mention this issue on tkinter-discuss and encourage people to comment.
