I do not know how complete the support is, but this is copied from 
3.4.2, which uses tcl/tk 8.6.
 >>> t = "الحركات"
 >>> for c in t: print(c)  # Prints rightmost char above first
ا

ح

ك
ا
ت

The following StackOverflow question and response indicate that there 
may b more issue, but it was asked before tcl/tk 8.6 was available, so 
the answer may be partially obsolete.

#84736

One way is to work with Py32 and a dedicated Qt widget.
Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, ... scripts are far beyond
my knowledge. In my "unicode plain text" editor, I have no
problem to blindly cut/copy/past works coming for a TeX unicode
engine or entering these chars from the keyboard.
Now it is no more working properly when it works!

For a serious work and from what I know on that
precise field, c# is very valuable solution.
On the Apple side, zero experience.

jmf

PS The latest tcl (or Py implementation) is broken
on the side of Latin chars!
