Problem is the Tk version (which underpins tkinter) varies by distribution. 
Currently, Windows and MacOS Intel installers are packaged with 8.6.8, while 
MacOS Universal2 is soon to be packaged with a head later than 8.6.10. The 
situation gets worse on Linux, where different distros provide very different 
versions (CentOS 7, for example, runs Tk 8.5.13 which was released back in 
2012). As the available options vary by version, we face an issue of what we 
actually describe in the docs.

As a side note, Shipman's docs are now also hosted at tkdocs.com/shipman, a 
site maintained by Mark Roseman, which should be more reliable than a github.io 
page (see issue37149 - he will also handle any copyright claims, etc. that may 
arise that meant we couldn't host it on docs.python.org).
