Bug report

Bug description:

The file tkinter/__init__.py contains the following code:

    def trace_variable(self, mode, callback):
        """Define a trace callback for the variable.
        MODE is one of "r", "w", "u" for read, write, undefine.
        CALLBACK must be a function which is called when
        the variable is read, written or undefined.
        Return the name of the callback.
        This deprecated method wraps a deprecated Tcl method that will
        likely be removed in the future.  Use trace_add() instead.
        """
        # TODO: Add deprecation warning
    trace = trace_variable

The deprecated Tcl method was removed from Tcl 9.0, before the deprecation warning was added in tkinter. The trace_variable() and trace() methods still exist in both the current tkinter/__init__.py and the replacement which was included in PR #124112. Calling those methods with Tk 9.0 raises a TclError.
