Where to best ask for feature requests for TK(inter) - NebularNerd - Feb-07-2023

Hello fellow Python'eers

I recently switch from PySimpleGUI to customtkinter, a bit of a learning curve between the two but after a couple of days I've got the hang of it. I'm trying to find the best place to make a feature request for the base TK or TKinter to resolve some minor issues I came across while throwing my script together, has anyone any recommendations of where best to go?

I would like to ask them to consider both a inbuilt PNG>ICO conversion for Windows as TK refuses to use PNG's unlike PySimpleGUI. In addition can they add support for base64 strings as valid input for wm_iconbitmap and iconbitmap. At present I have to create two temp images from my original base64 string which seems untidy when a simple BytesIO() string can handle the issue without needing to write to a drive.

Any help on this would be great and should benefit everyone. Big Grin

These are question for the tk/tcl community. tkinter is a wafer thin wrapper around the tk/tcl libraries.
