Hello.
I tried 'tkinter_split.patch' patch against 3.3.2, but a fix for grid_info function is also needed.

#test.py
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
b = tk.Button(root, text='Button')
b.grid()
print(b.grid_info())
root.mainloop()


Here's is the script's output:

alejandro@vostro1:~/tmp$ cpython3.3 test.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 10, in <module>
    print(b.grid_info())
  File "/home/alejandro/apps/cpython3.3.2/lib/python3.3/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2024, in grid_info
