By using "-u all,-largefile,-audio,-gui", you are specifying to enable all special resources except 'largefile', 'audio' and 'gui'. Since the ttk tests require the 'gui' resource to run, the tests are skipped. (please see https://docs.python.org/3/library/test.html#running-tests-using-the-command-line-interface)

The failure that you saw was due to a change in Tcl/Tk 8.6.11; we recently updated our tests to handle that change in bpo-45436; the fixes have not been released at any version yet, but the fixes have been applied back to 3.7. The "resource not available" not is due to your -u flags, as noted by E. Paine.
