Hi! I am facing a problem with using accentuated characters in idle (2.7.6 or 2.7.8). When I type the accent, idle crashes. If I call python from a terminal, there is no such problem. I looked around and saw that there are a number of issues with utf-8-python-mac, but I could not find the solution. The one indicated on the Python doc "You need to create a file ~ /.MacOSX/environment.plist. See Apple’s Technical Document QA1067 for details." seems not to be recommended by Apple anymore. Does any mac users have an idea for me, please? Thanks, Anamaria

I remember such a bug in the OSX version, which was fixed a long time ago. There is a number of bugs in the OSX Tk, a lot of them was recently fixed, so stay tuned and maybe update when 8.6.2 becomes available. Christian

You also need to be using a Python instance that will use the newer ActiveTcl. The crash is due to a bug in older versions of OS X Cocoa Tk; unfortunately, the versions of Tk 8.5 shipped by Apple with OS X from OS X 10.6 through at least current 10.9.x still have this bug. One way to avoid it is to use either one of the current python.org installers (Python 2.7.8 or 3.4.1) and the current ActiveTcl 8.5.15.0 from ActiveState (using 8.6.x will not help).
