We should have some tests for Tix, which currently has none. The Windows buildbots will be able to run the tests, but Tix is not guaranteed to be available elsewhere.

A minimal test would be that the one in the doc. from tkinter import tix root = tix.Tk() root.tk.eval('package require Tix') This passes on my 3.4.2 win7. I believe the first line should work on any system with _tkinter, whereas https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27751923/tix-widgets-installation-issue reports failure of the second line on his Mac with ... self.tk.eval('package require Tix') _tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix

As a prerequisite for #20035, I've added the simplest test possible that just makes sure Tix is available on Windows. I only added it on default as I don't have the facilities to test it properly on 2.7 and 3.4 on Windows (which is the only platform actually testing anything so far), but it should be simple enough to copy it over if anybody wants to or ever writes some real tests for Tix. Leaving this issue open as some real tests would still be nice.

Tix is now deprecated, extra tests are unnecessary.
