Summary: Tkinter Scale returns only integer from/to values

Initial Comment:
Tk "scale" widgets allow floating point range values.
But Tkinter.Scale returns integer values for 'from' and
'to' attributes even when they were set to non-integer
values.

>>> s = Tkinter.Scale()
>>> s['from'] = 1.23
>>> s['from']
1.0

The problem is in the Tkinter.Scale.get method.  It
converts the floating point value to an integer.

>From Tkinter.py:

getint = int
class Scale(Widget):
    def get(self):
        """Get the current value as integer or float."""
        value = self.tk.call(self._w, 'get')
        try:
            return getint(value)
        except ValueError:
            return getdouble(value)
    def set(self, value):
        """Set the value to VALUE."""
        self.tk.call(self._w, 'set', value)
