I don't know who currently maintains Tkinter and how much time they have
to work on it, maybe it would help if someone wrote a patch.
>From a quick glance I think the spinbox might not require any more code
than the following snippet:

#################################################################
import ttk

class Spinbox(ttk.Entry):

    def __init__(self, master=None, **kw):
        ttk.Entry.__init__(self, master, "ttk::spinbox", **kw)

    def current(self, newindex=None):
        return self.tk.call(self._w, 'current', index)

    def set(self, value):
        return self.tk.call(self._w, 'set', value)
#################################################################

Can you store this to a file spinbox.py and then import the spinbox
widget from there and test if everything works? Maybe there still needs
some tweaking to be done to make all configuration options work properly
(as in ttk.Combobox).

Regards

Michael
