It seems that removing Tkinter from the stdlib will not only benefit Python, but also Tkinter; due to the fact that Tkinter will not be confined to Python's release schedules. As we've witnessed so far almost nothing has changed since Tkinter's addition many years ago.
That's not true. Python 2.7 adds support for the Ttk widgets. Also, the turtle module was significantly revised for 2.6. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
