Subject: Use tk_scaling() instead of a raw Tcl call in IDLE and tkinter tests (#152788)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f59b2a800d2f91b863c80c92b64966a8ed28515;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Use tk_scaling() instead of a raw Tcl call in IDLE and tkinter tests (#152788)

Replace `tk.call('tk', 'scaling')` with `tk_scaling()`, which
returns a float, in idlelib.util and test_tkinter.widget_tests.
