So what do *you* think. Do you agree with the OP that Tkinter (and hence IDLE) should be scrapped? On Wed, May 2, 2018 at 2:37 PM, Antoine Pitrou <solipsis@pitrou.net> wrote:

As https://bugs.python.org/issue33257 and https://bugs.python.org/issue33316 showed, Tkinter is broken, for both Py2 and Py3, with both threaded and non-threaded Tcl, since 2002 at least, and no-one gives a damn.
This seems to be a testament that very few people are actually interested in or are using it.
If that's so, there's no use keeping it in the standard library -- if anything, because there's not enough incentive and/or resources to support it. And to avoid screwing people (=me) up when they have the foolishness to think they can rely on it in their projects -- nowhere in the docs it is said that the module is only partly functional.
For the future, this is not how you communicate with the development mailing list of any open source software project. I would suggest reading https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ for some pointers on how

Perhaps it would be more constructive to address the OP's point than to play speech police.
To elaborate a bit: the OP, while angry, produced both a detailed analysis *and* a PR. It's normal to be angry when an advertised feature doesn't work and it makes you lose hours of work (or, even, forces you to a wholesale redesign). Producing a detailed analysis and a PR is more than most people will ever do.

Antoine.
