Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I changed title to match what might and, I think, should happen.
My take: x.y is normally followed within 2 years by x.(y+1), which on Windows includes the latest tcl/tk. So, on Windows, anyone who wants the new tcl/tk can upgrade to the newer Python. For 2.7, there will be no 2.8 with newer tcl/tk. So we updated tcl/tk once already within 2.7 and it seems time to do so again. If there are more 8.5 bugfixes before the last 2.7 release in 2020, we should do so a third time. ---------- title: Update Windows build to Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 -> Update Windows 2.7 build to Tcl/Tk 8.5.19 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
