Ned Deily added the comment: As Ronald notes, as of 3.9.1, we are for the immediate future providing two macOS installer variants: the traditional 10.9+ Intel-64 variant that is built on 10.9 and includes Tk 8.6.8 and the new "experimental" 10.9+ "universal2" (Apple Silicon and Intel-64) var

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: W.r.t. building on 10.9: until very recently (trunk and 3.9.1) Python didn’t check for symbol availability at runtime. Building on 10.9 is basically a workaround for that. The, for now experimental, “universal2” installer for 3.9.1 is build on Big Sur and

Marc Culler added the comment: Well, actually the release was announced today. There was one bug fix which did not make it into the release but could possibly affect Python, due to the fact that Python is installed as a framework, and frameworks to not have icons. I can supply a (1-line) pa

Ned Deily added the comment: I agree that moving forward (using an unreleased 8.6.10+ snapshot) is better than moving backwards (back to 8.6.9). Perhaps Marc or Kevin can suggest Tcl and Tk dev heads to use. -- nosy: +culler ___ Python tracker <

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: It is possible to opt out of dark mode using a key in the Info.plist file. This can also be used in the Python.app hidden in the framework to globally disable support for dark mode. I wouldn't switch back to 8.6.9, if only because that doesn't build properl

E. Paine added the comment: > we should at least opt out of dark mode for IDLE That still leaves tkinter almost unusable when dark mode is turned on. I am looking into solutions but am not hopeful (maybe we should ask Marc?). @Ned, what are the alternatives if we decide 8.6.10 is not the way

Ned Deily added the comment: Thanks for checking, Kevin. Is there any update on when we can expect a Tk 8.6.11? It's been over a year now since 8.6.10 and there have been so many macOS-related changes that have gone into Tk since then. It's really not fair to ask downstream packagers, like

Kevin Walzer added the comment: This bug is not present in IDLE 3.9.0 when built against the tip of Tk core-8-6-branch. Marc Culler has done some work to fix the visual artifacts, and the work continues. The problem here is that Apple's API churn continually breaks parts of Tk with each new

E. Paine added the comment: It seems to be some weird internal mismatch. Code modified from https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tk+differences+on+Mac+OS+X (see following) suggests that dark mode is not enabled for the window (and yet we are getting white foreground colours) import tkinter as tk

[issue42541] Tkinter colours wrong on MacOS universal2

New submission from E. Paine : When using tkinter from the universal2 package, the colours are completely confused. Most text tries to white, even though the background is light and this makes text in Entries completely unreadable (where the background is white). This affects both Tk and Ttk.
