Re: [Python-Dev] proposed Tkinter change; any likelihood of acceptance?

The primary change is to add a "name" argument to the Variable.__init__, bringing it in line with other Tkinter classes. The justification is to allow users to create new Tkinter variables that point to existing tcl variables (e.g. somewhat similar to nametowidget). In some cases this may be more convenient than using setvar and getvar.

I haven't seen any other responses to this; I propose that it's too late for 2.3b2 given that it's a feature change with somewhat unclear consequences. For 2.3.1 or 2.4 I'd be okay. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
