macOS CI is failing for 3.13 due to Tcl/Tk 9 on Homebrew #127359
Description
Bug report
Bug description:
The recent builds on the 3.13 and 3.12 branches are failing for macos-13 (and 3.11 and earlier likely will as well):
- https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/workflows/build.yml?query=branch%3A3.13
- https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/workflows/build.yml?query=branch%3A3.12
For example https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/runs/12052665181/job/33606528979#step:9:1072 :
2 tests failed:
test_tkinter test_ttk
This is because we install unpinned Tcl/Tk from Homebrew which has recently upgraded from 8.6 to 9.0:
main isn't failing because it's also recently been updated to prepare for 9.0.
For now, let's pin main and earlier branches to 8.6 and start testing 9.0 later (or on a buildbot):

CPython versions tested on:
3.12, 3.13, 3.14
Operating systems tested on:
macOS

I'll open backports for security branches too, at least 3.11 is failing (and very likely 3.9-3.10 too).
