[issue1301] Bad assertion in _tkinter.c

[Stephen P. Schaefer]

Stephen P. Schaefer added the comment:

I'm not sure of the scope of the "block" to which you're referring.  As
patched, the code returns a Tcl_Obj representing 0 length unicode
string, which appears to me to be the correct behavior, and works for
the applications I use (originally developed in python 2.3 and python
2.4).  I doubt that it's worth special-casing away the call for a 0
length outbuf, the skipped for loop, plus the call to free the 0 length
outbuf.
