Hello,
I smell a problem caused by this line at tkinter/__init__.py:
tkinter = _tkinter # b/w compat for export
This was fine when tkinter was a Tkinter module, but I believe it
would be better to rename this to something else.
Given that python has a lot of users, I'm sure you will be able to
find all sort of crazy things over the internet and one of them could
be:
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
something = tkinter._default_root
Which is not that crazy at all, for some values of crazy, but will fail now.
Regards,
