>Description:
trying to use python311 installed via pkgsrc got a Tkinter version that doesnt recognize al cursor shapes available on the platform and included in Tkinter documentation. (https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/cursors.htm), none of cursor shapes specific for macos are available, so installed packages throws errors.
>How-To-Repeat:
install python3.11 and Tkinter via pkgsrc. (any version is the same)
create an environment:
/opt/pkg/bin/python3.11 -m venv
.venv/bin/activate
pip3 install customtkinter

run the following snippet from customtkinter site:

import customtkinter

def button_callback():
    print("button pressed")

app = customtkinter.CTk()
app.title("my app")
app.geometry("400x150")

button = customtkinter.CTkButton(app, text="my button", command=button_callback)
button.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20, pady=20)

app.mainloop()

You'll get the following error:
_tkinter.TclError: bad cursor spec "pointinghand"

If you run the example with the system version of python3 installed in macos, you don't get the error.






>Fix:
Not known.
I assume the version of Tkinter is for other platforms and is not customized for macos.

Also, I couldn run Xquartz installed via pkgsrc, so I had to install the Xquartz downloaded from their website. 

Also, there is no stub for Tkinter for python 3.12 with pkgsrc.
