Ned Deily added the comment: This problem was reported and fixed in Issue18270 which will be in the next set of Python maintenance releases. As explained there, what is causing this is that the Python 3.3 tkinter you are using is trying to use the known buggy system Tk 8.5 shipped with OS X. If you are using a python.org 3.3, you can avoid the problem by installing a more up-to-date version of Tcl/Tk 8.5, such as the current ActiveTcl 8.5.15.0. See http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
