I had trouble finding it too, it was redirected to somewhere else and
marked as private because of spam. I asked a tk developer for the
issue and he kindly pasted the comments here:

I didn't want to go offtopic here but it raises a question about
handling bgerror and I don't know where else I should ask this so.. I
have been working on a new _tkinter (before I went traveling, back
now) and I have been supporting the use of bgerror but would like to
know what kind of problems it used to cause to Tkinter or _tkinter.
For IDLE specifically I had to disable it.

But if it doesn't affect anything in the current usage, why not
backport such patch ? Even though you can say that tcl 8.5 is not
supported by python 2.5, _tkinter doesn't enforce this. |
