Am I mistaken in my belief that tkinter is a non-optional part of the Python language? I installed the "python3" package on Ubuntu, and tkinter is not included--it's an optional package "python3-tk" that has to be installed separately. I reported this as a bug as was summarily slapped down.
Can we apply some pressure to Ubuntu to fix this? Python is a trademark, is it not? Can Ubuntu legally claim that their "Python" package is an implementation of the language if it does not include the whole language? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
