[New-bugs-announce] [issue17266] Idle + tcl 8.6.0 Can't convert '_tkinter.Tcl_Obj' object to str implicitly

[Helmut Jarausch]

New submission from Helmut Jarausch:

I have tcl/tk 8.6.0 installed here. Both Python versions below
are build from source.

I'm using LANG=en_US.iso88591 here if that matters.

When opening a file in Idle with 
python-3.3.1 revision: c08bcf5302ec

or

python-3.4.0a0 (default:3a110a506d35) (HG version)

I get
