[issue1731706] tkinter memory leak problem

[Guilherme Polo]

Guilherme Polo <ggpolo at gmail.com> added the comment:

It is much more important to fix the memory leak anyway, it is possible
to notice real problems using test_tkleak1.py and watching the process
with ps or something else provided by the platform. Besides, not calling
ConditionFinalize doesn't introduce memory leaks, so it is not in par
with issue's title.

But I'm unsure about the existence of systems using Python as the main
language which are also using tkinter and at the same time depend on
tcl/tk 8.2 for some reason. So, to me, it would seem fine to start
requiring tcl/tk 8.3 (or even newer!) starting with 2.7 and 3.1
