Thanks, Christian. That's a good summary, I think. After some more
research, I agree with your conclusion that the stubs library approach
does not apply to the case of embedding Tcl ("type A") which is what
Python tkinter does. As far as matplotlib or PIL/Pillow or other
third-party packages that may extend Tck/Tk, it might be helpful to open
an issue with suggested code on the various projects' issue trackers if
someone cares to pursue this.
