It seems premature to worry about 8.7.0, as it might still be years away. 8.7.0a1 was 4 years ago. 8.6.0 spent 5 years in beta. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/.
I'd like to see improved tkinter docs within a year.
I don't think that license should be an issue. Tkinter, as well as our distribution of tcl/tk binaries and the Perl and Ruby tk wrappings, must be allowed by the tcl/tk license. At least by implication, we must be allowed to document the licensed wrapper and its usage from Python.
The tkinter-docs listing of widget options is close to what I want to see*, except that I want to separately document shared options, as in the ttk doc. To the extent that I would prefer your versions, you have already done a big chunk of the work for that. Did you exactly copy the tk manual wordings or rewrite in your own words? Do you intend to contribute what you wrote?
* In particular, you added OS-specific info. It seems to be mostly absent from *tkinter* doc and not knowing those facts has caused grief. |
