I'm moving lib-tk to a tkinter package, I've sent a patch for this which
can be found at issue 2775 but I started wrong (did a patch against py3k
directly).

I've talked with Brett and we agreed on a plan slightly different from
the one described in PEP 3108, which seems to be better for tkinter.
The first step would be creating a tkinter package and then moving each
file in lib-tk to this new directory, correcting imports and the case
and renaming Tkinter.py to __init__.py so the directory is marked as a
package.
After this step I can proceed with more patches, including stub modules,
tests in test_py3kwarn and continue with the rest of the plan.
I'm attaching two files I've used to do this first step. One is a .py
file, which will do the proper renamings and then there is a patch which
should be applied to fix imports inside the tkinter package.

New patch, this one does the following:
* Fix tkinter imports in idlelib, pydoc and Canvas (deprecated)
* Creates stub modules for all old Tkinter modules, except tkFileDialog
and tkSimpleDialog
* Updates test_py3kwarn for all these renames
What is missing now:
* Merging tkSimpleDialog into tkinter.simpledialog and tkFileDialog into
tkinter.filedialog, I believe this should be done using svn merge and
then correct the result a bit.
* Update docs

Committed step 2 patch as r63376.

Patching for updating the docs added.
I've also added a script that should be executed after the patch is
applied, it will rename scrolledtext.rst to tkinter.scrolledtext.rst;
tix.rst to tkinter.rst and turtle.rst to tkinter.turtle.rst.

After merging all these changes in py3k, lib-tk should be removed from
sys.path there. Patch added for this.
Note that the iss script at PC/VS7.1 should be regenerated

This new patch handles the merging of tkSimpleDialog into
tkinter.simpledialog and tkFileDialog into
tkinter.filedialog.
After doing it, the old files may be removed from lib-tk:
svn del Lib/lib-tk/tkSimpleDialog.py
svn del Lib/lib-tk/tkFileDialog.py
I will do the stub modules for these modules after the commit then, thanks.

Committed modmerge patch in r63408.

Patch added for handling the merging of tkSimpleDialog into
tkinter.simpledialog and tkFileDialog into tkinter.filedialog, specific
for py3k.

Handled Py3k branch in revs 63417 to 63423. Closing this issue.

The changes in 2.6 need to be reverted, leaving only a note in the docs.

Done in r63485-63491.
