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

Hi Andrew,

To be sure about the version, you can check inside python itself:

    >>> import tkinter
    >>> tkinter.TkVersion
    8.6

To check even deeper, you can go into the DLLs folder in Python and check
the properties of the DLLs that Python links too.  That will provide the
exact version number.
