Also, I have confirmed that the blind symlink issue in non-English Windows Vista (issue3881) is not a problem in Tcl/Tk 8.6. That issue was easy to reproduce in a standard installation of Python 3.3 (with Tcl/Tk 8.5) on German Windows Vista by setting TCL_LIBRARY manually; the same test with a standard installation of Python 3.4 (with Tcl/Tk 8.6) showed no problem. Thus, I don't believe the convert_path() acrobatics from the top of Lib/tkinter/_fix.py are necessary in the C replacement.
