[issue15133] tkinter.BooleanVar.get() behavior and docstring disagree

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I have no strong opinion. Definitely getboolean() (and other getXXX) is not consistent. The question is what should getboolean (and BooleanVar.get) always return, bool or int? Note that since 8.6 Tcl doesn't use special boolean type internally and use integers 0 and 1 to represent boolean values. So any boolean values returned from Tk will be converted by Tkinter to 0/1.
