I can still run tests on an newly installed (patched) Python 3.12:

$ /opt/py3.12/bin/python3.12 -m test test_tkinter -u all -v(...)Ran 731 tests in 6.853s$ /opt/py3.12/bin/python3.12 -m test test_ttk -u all -v(...)Ran 308 tests in 7.905s$ /opt/py3.12/bin/python3.12 -m test test_tkintertest_tkinter skipped -- Use of the 'gui' resource not enabledtest_tkinter skipped (resource denied)$ /opt/py3.12/bin/python3.12 -m test test_ttktest_ttk skipped -- Use of the 'gui' resource not enabledtest_ttk skipped (resource denied)

Rename test_tk to test_tkinter

For me, it's disturbing when tests don't have the same name than the tested module. asyncio => test_asyncio. tkinter => test_tk ???

rename test_ttk_guionly to test_ttk

I can keep test_ttk_guionly name if you prefer, but for me, tests should use the GUI. Only the special tests test_ttk_textonly should have a special name, no?

This PR is special. I made the new directory tree "flat".support.py andtest_simpledialog.py now lives inLib/test/test_tkinter/. Previously,test_simpledialog.py was in atest_tkinter/ sub-directory.

Thefailure is unrelated, see#94068.

Oh. Windows build failed with an unrelated error:

Error: D:\a\cpython\cpython\Modules\socketmodule.c(7475,5): error C2065: 'HVSOCKET_CONTAINER_PASSTHRU': undeclared identifier [D:\a\cpython\cpython\PCbuild_socket.vcxproj]

Yeah, seems we're in the middle of the rollout of new CI images, so there's a chance you'll get the older image and not see the error. But you'll need my PR for it to be reliable.

Should it be backported?

I would prefer that ttk tests be included under test_tkinter, with names liketest_ttk_widgets, so thatpython -m test.test_tkinter (andpython -m test -ugui test_tkinter) tests everything. But re-organization details are up to Serhiy.

This patch will require changes to the scripts *nix distributions use to make tkinter (and IDLE) a separate install. I don't know how they would feel about backports.

I rebased the PR to get the fix for the Windows build:#94068

Should it be backported?

This specific PR change the name of two tests, so no, it should not be backported.

It also changes the build system (Linux, VS project). Honestly, it sounds risky and I would prefer to not backport it.

I would prefer that ttk tests be included under test_tkinter

Oh. I tried to minimize changes in this PR. But I'm open to reorganizing tests.

@serhiy-storchaka: Are you fine with the 2 proposed tests, or do you want to merge them?

This patch will require changes to the scripts *nix distributions use to make tkinter (and IDLE) a separate install. I don't know how they would feel about backports.

Once issue#54781 will be fixed, I will properly document these changes in What's New in Python 3.12. IMO it fits into the Build Changes section.

Are you fine with the 2 proposed tests, or do you want to merge them?

I was going to ask about merging them, but I am fine with the current state of this PR. If you are going to mergetest_ttk intotest_tkinter, do not forget abouttest_tcl.

Maybe do this in a separate PR?

I was going to ask about merging them, but I am fine with the current state of this PR. If you are going to merge test_ttk into test_tkinter, do not forget about test_tcl.

Oh, merging 3 Tkinter tests sound out of my skills. I don't know well this module and I would prefer if someone else do it.

Here I'm trying to focus on fixing the 12 years old issue#54781 :-) Perfect is the enemy of good ;-)

@serhiy-storchaka: Does it look good to you like that?
