Now I think we shouldn't deprecate and remove wantobjects=False. Tkinter was
partially broken with wantobjects=False, on other hand, it was partially broken
with wantobjects=True. Many bugs was fixed last months, all tests now work with
wantobjects=False, and I hope Tkinter now correctly supports both mode.
Besides using in old third-party code, this parameter is very helpful for
testing. Tcl/Tk changes internal details from release to release, so when in
one release Tk function returns list or integer, in other release it can return
special object ('dict' or 'pixel'). Tkinter should be more stable against
changing of return type, and wantobjects=False helps in detecting some such
cases.
I propose to close this issue as fixed.
