[New-bugs-announce] [issue42630] Variable.__init__ raise a RuntimeError instead of obscure AttributeError

[Ivo Shipkaliev]

New submission from Ivo Shipkaliev <ivo.shipkaliev at gmail.com>:

Hello.

I think it would be nice to add:

335 >             if not master:
336 >                 raise RuntimeError('a valid Tk instance is required.')

to lib/tkinter/__init__.py, and not rely on this unclear AttributeError.

Could it be assigned to me, please?

Best Regards
Ivo Shipkaliev
