The bottom line is: Tkinter is currently broken -- as in, it's not thread-safe (in both Py2 and Py3) despite being designed and advertizing itself as such. All the fix options require some redesign of either `_tkinter', or some of the core as well.

So, I'd like to get some kind of core team's feedback and/or approval before pursuing any of them.

The options are outlined in https://bugs.python.org/issue33257#msg316087 .

If anyone of you is in Moscow, we can meet up and discuss this in a more time-efficient manner.

-- Regards, Ivan
