[Python-Dev] Drop/deprecate Tkinter?

[Skip Montanaro]

One other small bit... There is some precedent for retaining modules where
the underlying library was known to be buggy. The dearly departed bsddb
module exposed libdb 1.85 (as I recall) which had an unfixable bug. Still,
bsddb supported that broken version of the library for quite awhile before
itself being deprecated, then removed, from the stdlib. I believe it was
the sole persistent key/value store for most of the early years.

So, bugs or not (& fixable or not) it's not like we haven't encountered
this kind of case before.
