IMHO Tcl and Tk should be in title case (as Python or Django) or at least all
in upper case (as APL or SDL).

I don't see any mentions of ttk in IDLE source code except added check. Is ttk
really required for IDLE?

Re-opened for tweak.
This patch, to exit gracefully if ttk is not available, is the first step
before using ttk in Idle. Mark, a long-time tk/ttk expert and site/book
author, has volunteered to help upgrade Idle with ttk. Please see ttk in idle
on Idle-Sig
Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I tested by renaming installed 3.5 ttk, editing 3.5 PyShell with 3.4, and
clicking 3.5 icon.

Mark Roseman added the comment:
Sounds good. Only suggestion, given it's user facing, is to have the error
message point them towards a solution. Off the top of my head, maybe something
like IDLE requires Python be configured to use Tk 8.5 or newer (you have Tk
x.x) with a title of IDLE
New submission from Terry J. Reedy:
PyShell currently has this code
try:
from tkinter import *
except ImportError:
print(** IDLE can't import Tkinter.\n
Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **, file=sys.__stderr__)
sys.exit(1)
import tkinter.messagebox as tkMessageBox
Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Improved message. Thanks. Should be good enough for the extremely few times
it should ever be triggered.
