[Python-Dev] Drop/deprecate Tkinter?

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer]

Maybe the only 1 thing needs an update : some nice ui

else,

i'm glad python has a gui library

as one interested in languages, py is just crazy (though i miss some
android apps using it). in a GPL, a gui library is one of those extra
goodies

if you would browse the source codes, you'd see good old compiler theories
being used (no ANTLR for example)

tkinter is pretty good. as one that still believes in tkinter and has as a
result of it explored many apps, what you can do with tkinter is crazy. as
to no one using it; did you consider production: installing a 3rd party
package for what is already integrated

ah just the docs, they are not as candy as python's docs

to drop it, we use what? maybe we'll all join punching some bags before we
get a stable gui package in production
