[New-bugs-announce] [issue15601] tkinter test_variables fails with OS X Aqua Tk 8.4

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_get (tkinter.test.test_tkinter.test_variables.TestStringVar)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/tkinter/test/test_tkinter/test_variables.py", line 85, in test_get
    self.assertEqual("1", v.get())
AssertionError: '1' != 'True'
- 1
+ True

The OS X 32-bit installers for OS X 10.5+ link with Tcl/Tk 8.4 as that was the only version supplied by Apple for 10.5.  The test passes when linked with the Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.5 available in OS X 10.6+ and used with the 64-/32-bit OS X installers.
