Thats a grossly general statement although it *is* a fact. Heres

"A lot"? How many is "a lot" David. If you're going to present the
group with such general ways of measuring value then at least give us
a mapping so we can translate it into something tangible. Can you
express "a lot" in the form of an integer? And where is the proof that
supports this value "A Lot".

Hmm, I know *I* use IDLE so thats *one* person. However blabbing hear-
say like some old lady at a hair salon is a non starter because it has
no fact-based-foundation in reality, and so renders the argument
completely inadmissible and quite frankly makes you look incompetent.
Sadly however (in this group it seems) hearsay and hyperbole run a-
muck on a daily basis.

Release the ModuleRemovalWarning and you WILL then get back reliable
information as to who *IS* and *IS NOT* wishing Tkinter to stay. But
you won't do this because your afraid of being proven wrong. I would
happily love to be proven wrong, WITH FACTS AND NOT HEARSAY THAT IS!.
If the numbers are for keeping Tkinter then I will jump full-force
into Tkinter/IDLE development. I already have many patches and
improvements for both Tkinter and IDLE working nicely on my machine.

Run the warning. Then and *only* then can we move forward with facts.
Or you could just keep living in your self-aggrandizing fantasy world
of "I'm always right and everyone else is the moron".
