Unsetting priority since it's not Critical and RMs look at open Critical bugs 
when releasing 3.6.3 and so on.

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Provisional addition a bit revised from above.  I did not markup idlelib as a 
module because there is currently no section to link to.  I don't know if or 
how IDLE can be linked to the IDLE doc.  I linked to the name change issue that 
started the change process. I will add a link to the interface issue if and 
when pushed.

[issue27163] IDLE entry for What's New in Python 3.6

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

File: Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst
Location within file: Under 'Improved Modules', as 'idlelib (IDLE)' (?)
Draft test:
"Idlelib is being revamped to make IDLE look better and work better and to make 
it easier to maintain and improve IDLE. Part of making IDLE look better, 
especially on Linux and Mac, is using ttk widgets.  As a result, IDLE no longer 
runs with tcl/tk 8.4.  It now requires tcl/tk 8.5 or 8.6 and availability of 
ttk widgets.  We recommend running the latest release of either.

'Revamping' includes renaming, refactoring, and consolidation of idlelib 
modules. As a result, imports of idlelib files that worked in 3.5 will usually 
not work in 3.6.  At least a module name change will be needed, sometimes more. 
 Information will be added to idlelib.  In compensation, the eventual result 
with be that some idlelib classes will be easier to use, with better APIs and 
docstrings explaining them."

This should be added before 3.6.0a2 and considered critical for that release, 
but after patches that make it true. #24759, using a revision of Serhiy's code 
from #24750, will make 3.5 and successful loading of ttk a requirement for IDLE 
(first paragraph).  New issue #27162 will add compatibility info and a new 
module (second paragraph) and require that the second paragraph be re-written a 
bit.
