[New-bugs-announce] [issue46996] Drop support of Tcl/Tk older than 8.5.12

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

In issue45979 E. Paine suggested to drop support of Tcl/Tk older than 8.5.12 (8.5.12 was released on 2012-07-27 and 8.6.0 on 2012-12-20). Tkinter tests contain workarounds and special cases for older versions of Tcl/Tk, many of them can be removed. Also some Python and C code of tkinter can be simplified.
