Content
The IDLE about dialog does not report the full version of TK. For instance it will report "8.5" and not report the last minor version number such as "8.5.9". On the Mac OS X this is problematic (but it could be a problem on other platforms) because Apple ships their own version of TK which is known to be buggy. For bug reporting purposes IDLE should report the full version of TK which could help diagnose bugs.
