[New-bugs-announce] [issue38433] 2.7.17rc1 tcl/tk version regression on Windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

In my current 2.7.16+ Windows 10-64 repository build, and on at least one 8.1-64 buildbot, the tcl/tk version is 8.5.19
>>> tk.Tk().tk.call('info', 'patchlevel')
'8.5.19'

In my installed 2.7.17rc1, it is the older 8.5.15.  It would seem to me that we should install the same latest 8.5 bugfix release that we test with.  (Or test with what we release ;-)  I presume the discrepancy is unintended due to an incomplete final 2.7 tcl/tk update.
