I (as tk maintainer) would prefer tk8.2. However, the current python
tkinter module is designed for tk8.0. Reportedly, patches are
available somewhere to make it us tk8.2, but they don't appear to be
widely used. I think it's best to stay with tk8.0 until tkinter is
officially updated.

The last time I checked, the threading support in tk8.2 was not
stable, so it isn't enabled in my current Debian packages. tk8.2 is
built with -D_REENTRANT, though, so it is possible to use call tk from
a single thread in a threaded application.
