from here it looks like a bug in the Tk version that comes with your
Fedora version update.
Oddly, the error message reported by Tk is the same I get here when I try
to pass an illegal option to a window's wm_attributes command. I have no
idea though why this command should be called in this context. I am not
sure which exactly is the handler in Tk that decides which command to run
when tk_messageBox is called, but it seems to do something weird here.
Maybe you can try and run directly the equivalent Tk code from a
terminal:

    $ wish
    % tk_messageBox -type ok -message "aaaaaaa" -icon info

which is basically what the tkMessageBox Python module does. Does this
produce the same error?

Best regards

Michael
