tkinter.Event is not subscriptable at runtime but generic in stub file #123341

Description

Bug report

Bug description:

import tkinter
tkinter.Event[tkinter.Canvas] # TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

This has been briefly discussed at python/typeshed#12591

It would be great if this problem (a little more detailed version here) could be fixed in the entire standard library. As of right now, the inconsistency of class subscription support is just way too confusing for developers.

CPython versions tested on:

3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, CPython main branch

Operating systems tested on:

Linux, Windows
