Tkinter demo: show Tcl/Tk patchlevel instead of version #110345

Description

@chrstphrchvz

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

When dealing with issue reports involving Tcl/Tk, it is often much more helpful to know what Tcl/Tk calls the “patchlevel” (e.g. 8.6.13) than what Tcl/Tk calls the “version” (e.g. 8.6), because only the former usually corresponds to individual Tcl/Tk releases (and bugs tend to be fixed between these releases).

The test program in tkinter._test() (as invoked by python3.y -m tkinter) currently shows the Tcl/Tk “version”. So if Tkinter users are consulting this demo to know what Tcl/Tk is on their system when reporting issues, then I believe it would be better for this demo to show the “patchlevel” instead.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
