I know nothing about this. It passed on rerun, same fail, OK on x64, no failure on free-threading builds.
Perhaps ignore for now.

All are same quoting issue: actual(0,) expected as('0',).

The macOS change was not backported to 3.12. I don't remember whether we'd consider this a bugfix or a suitable-for-post-beta-pre-RC change, but I'm happy enough to leave it to 3.13 only.

Hid buildbot failure because test_math and test_statistics not affected by tkinter.

8.6.14 is a bugfix release. Is there a way for Windows users to update the Tcl/Tk version independently?

Better discuss on the issue, since the macOS maintainers are almost certainly not watching this PR.
