As explained above, this crash will happen with any Python that links to the
deprecated Apple-supplied system Tk framework in macOS versions from macOS 10.7

> Which version of TK 8.5.X fixes this, 8.5.18.0?
Yes, that version of Tk 8.5 does not have this problem. But Tk 8.5 is no longer

The problem here undoubtedly is that the Python you are using is linked with
the Apple-provided system version of Tk 8.5.9 which exhibits this nasty
behavior of crashing when pressing a composing key. The system version of Tk is
woefully out of date with other

Thank you for reporting this. I just have a few questions:
1. Which Python version are you using?
2. If Python 3.9.1, which installer did you use?
3. What does `tkinter.test.support.get_tk_patchlevel()` output?
4. Does your pygame example suffer the same issue (I

Sorry my verification keyboard listener program is not the pygame one. It is

def keyup(e):
print('up', e.__dict__)
def keydown(e):
print('down', e.__dict__)
root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root, width=100, height=100)
New submission from Justin :
On macOs 10.14.6 laptop with a qwerty layout, when I switch my keyboard layout
to `French - PC` and use a tkinter keyboard listener
