When running tests in subprocesses with the regrtest -j option, a bug
in Cocoa Tk can result in a Tcl segfault. Avoid the problem by forcing
Tk to fully initialize as an OS X gui process before destroying the
Tcl instance and creating another. (Original patch by Serhiy Storchaka)
reason = "cannot run without OS X gui process"
# check on every platform whether tkinter can actually do anything
- # but skip the test on OS X because it can cause segfaults in Cocoa Tk
- # when running regrtest with the -j option (multiple threads/subprocesses)
- if (not reason) and (sys.platform != 'darwin'):
+ if not reason:
try:
from tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
+ root.update()
root.destroy()
except Exception as e:
err_string = str(e)

present. Patch by Remi Pointel.
