@hugovk, can we land this in 3.15? These methods were deprecated in 3.14 without clear removal term, but they fail on Tk 9.0, which is now bundled in 3.15 on Windows and optionally on macOS. |

The :class:
!tkinter.Variablemethodstrace_variable(),trace(),trace_vdelete()andtrace_vinfo()have been deprecated since Python 3.14 (:gh:120220) and emit aDeprecationWarning. They wrap the Tcltrace variable/vdelete/vinfocommands, which were removed in Tcl 9.0, so they already raiseTclErrorwith Tk 9.This schedules their removal for Python 3.17: the deprecation warnings now state the removal version, and a
pending-removal-in-3.17entry is added (it is included in the 3.16 "What's New" pending-removal section).The methods are intentionally not rewired to the
trace_add()/trace_remove()/trace_info()API; users should migrate to those.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
