doesn't work too well for me -- Tkinter.test() tends to hang when I press quit (not every time, though). the only way to shut down the process is to reboot.

hmm. it looks like it's more likely to hang if the program uses unicode strings.

Tkinter._test() hangs about 2 times out of three

same goes for a simple test program that passes a
unicode string constant (containing Latin-1 chars)
to a Label

the same test program using a Latin-1 string (which,
I suppose, is converted to Unicode inside Tk) hangs
in about 1/3 of the runs.

the same test program with a pure ASCII string
never hangs...

confusing.
