Maybe the only 1 thing needs an update : some nice ui else, i'm glad python has a gui library as one interested in languages, py is just crazy (though i miss some android apps using it). in a GPL, a gui library is one of those extra goodies if you would browse the source codes, you'd see good old compiler theories being used (no ANTLR for example) tkinter is pretty good. as one that still believes in tkinter and has as a result of it explored many apps, what you can do with tkinter is crazy. as to no one using it; did you consider production: installing a 3rd party package for what is already integrated ah just the docs, they are not as candy as python's docs to drop it, we use what? maybe we'll all join punching some bags before we get a stable gui package in production Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer https://github.com/Abdur-rahmaanJ On Thu, 3 May 2018, 00:55 Ivan Pozdeev via Python-Dev, < python-dev@python.org> 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.
