I=92m curious, if they get rid of Tcl/Tk as you wished, what do you =
propose replacing it with?

It=92s not like there are other =93light weight cross platform ui =
frameworks=94 that are obvious replacements. Most of the others are far =
heavier. And all have issues with their purported cross platformness.

Or are you proposing that Tcl/Tk be moved out of the python core distro, =
and instead delivered as a separate package? If *this* is your proposal, =
I wholeheartedly agree. Just the other day, I was working on putting =
python3 on a beaglebone black (similar to a raspberry pi). It built OK, =
but I had to ignore lots of warnings about Tcl/Tk not working, which of =
course was a =93duh=94.

I was surprised, that among some, there=92s a sentiment that python core =
MUST include it. Which was interesting. One of the core principles of =
this language is all about modules and modularity. Why can=92t the =
Tcl/Tk module be the same as numpy and scipy and many of the other =
widely installed-after-the-fact-as-appropriate packages?=
