This issue does involve IDLE crashing, but it's not crashing due to non-BMP characters. That is a side-effect of a bigger issue with pythonw.exe. See Issue13582 for more information. IDLE's shell output has a gross deficiency due to Tkinter's inability to handle Unicode properly. Why penalize a program for running in IDLE just because IDLE can't write something to the text widget? This is precisely what your approach is doing - making IDLE an even more restricted environment than it needs to be. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14200> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
