Subject: Always convert Text.index result to string.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6a1~790
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f5d902fc4763f7c5142a2be4c3ef62f2b8b29289;p=python

Always convert Text.index result to string.
This improves compatibility with Tcl 8.5, which would
otherwise return textindex objects.
