[Python-ideas] Lib/lib-tk goes away, package tkinter joins in

[Quentin Gallet-Gilles]

Hi Guilherme,

Tkinter is scheduled to become a package in py3k, this is documented in the
PEP 3108 : http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/#tk-package
If you wish to help on related issues, feel free to join the stdlib-sig
where the reorganization is being discussed :-)
