In msg401744 I suggested any of the following for the upcoming 3.10.0 release. 1. Remove the new line. 2. Disable the line by adding '#'. 3. Make it conditional on macOS and 8.6.8. Thinking more, I am rejecting 3. because the line is not needed for IDLE and tk as installed by our macOS. As things stand now, I an only willing to support IDLE with the tk we install. But I will go with option 2 so that if someone tries to run IDLE with a different tk, and the line is needed, they only need to remove the '#'. A version of 3. is needed for 3.9 but this needs more data and discussion. In looking at your no-issue PR_28332, I realized that I would rather make a more extensive change than to patch a badly written function for at least the fourth time. I will open an issue for that PR and explain later.
