[New-bugs-announce] [issue20800] Cannot run gui tests twice.

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

After the fix for #20567, running test_idle and then test_ttk_guionly works, but running either after itself does not. Example command and output, which is same running with installed 3.4.0rc1 (Feb 11) or fresh debug build.

F:\Python\dev> 4\py34\pcbuild\python_d.exe -m test -ugui test_ttk_guionly test_ttk_guionly

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

init.tcl *is* in 4/tcl8.6.1.0/library and 4/tcltk/tcl8.6/lib. I believe it is usually found in the latter.

This might be Windows only.
