I'll use this opportunity to remind you that 3.4 build is broken -- it can't be built from start to installer with the instructions given because of outside factors (CPython has migrated from Hg to Git). https://bugs.python.org/issue31623 about this was ignored (see https://bugs.python.org/issue31623#msg303708 for supplemental fixes).
If this isn't something considered needing a fix, the claim that 3.4 is supported in any shape and form is but a pretense
Another wild exaggeration that inhibits me, and I suspect others, from attending to your legitimate issue.
Yes, thanks for writing this, Terry. Given Ivan's previous behavior on his "Drop/deprecate Tkinter?" thread, and combined with this thread, I'm unlikely to spend my free time on his particular issue here.
Ditto for this specific issue and in general. People forget that we are doing all of this as a kindness for the community since most of us probably don't benefit from another 3.4 release, so any negativity is at best treated with indifference and at worst as de-motivating to any effort into open source (I know for me I'm definitely no longer in the mood to spend my free time on open source today if this is how people are going to treat my hard, volunteer work). -Brett
