Color me dubious ;-). The change was made because tkinter.__init__, line 1990 has this line withdraw = wm_withdraw There is a similar line for all of the around 30 wm_xyz functions. Prefixing the names of methods of class Wm is an unusual redundancy. I cannot think of any sane way for tk to know which python synonym was used to call the Python wrapper. What code using event_generate led you to this conclusion?
