[issue24845] IDLE functional/integration testing

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

To clarify the 'tk introspection' I did not like was asking a widget for its children, getting a list of tk ids, and then testing the widgets by id.  I prefer keeping and and directly using a python reference.  I was not referring querying a widget for its configuration.

[Not part of functional testing, but... Current unittests do not check that every widget is managed (placed, packed, or gridded).  I just verified that commenting out a widget's .pack call did not affect the current test of the widget.  We currently use the htests for that.]
