Tkinter/win32ui compatibility

[Eric Brunel]

Hi all,

Does anybody know the status of the issue on 
http://www.python.org/topics/tkinter/trouble.html concerning Tkinter not 
mixing well with PythonWin/win32ui?

I do have encountered this problem on Win98, just by doing things like:

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
def f():
  import win32ui
  print 'yeah'
Button(root, text='Boom!', command=f).pack()
root.mainloop()

This simple script crashes horribly on Win98 when you click on the button. 
So there's actually an issue.

However, the same script works perfectly on Win2k or WinXP, and I've done 
things mixing quite "high-level" win32ui and Tkinter stuff without any 
problem.

So what's up? Did the problem resolve itself with the WinNT family, or can 
we expect further problems in the future? And is there any known workaround 
to make it work on Win9x?
