[vtk-developers] Fwd: [vtk.uservoice.com] New suggestion: 'Return support for Tkinter widgets.' (Berk Geveci)

Hi Andrew,

I found some time this morning to build Tcl/Tk on my Windows system, and
for me all of the Tkinter tests ran fine under Python 3 on Windows.  Are
you sure that you don't have a version mismatch between Python's tk and
VTK's tk?  Another possibility is that it's related to 64-bit Windows
builds versus 32-bit Windows builds (my build was 32-bit).
