The tkinter.c source code is littered with #ifdefs that mostly center around distinguishing between Tcl/Tk 8.0 and older versions. The two pre-8.0 version supported seem to be 7.5/4.1 and 7.6/4.2. =20 Would it be reasonable to assume that everybody is using at least Tcl/Tk version 8.0? This would simplify the code somewhat.

yes.

if people are using older versions, they can always use the version shipped with 1.5.2.

(has anyone actually tested that one with pre-8.0 versions, btw?)

Or should I ask this in a larger forum?

maybe. maybe not.
