Hi !
I am starting an undergraduate course on Python 3.2.2 and I would like to use 
the IDLE IDE on Mac Lion, as IDLE is actually cool for teaching. BUT I have 
problems with some dead keys, for example to get the tilde char, by the 
sequence "Alt-n <space>", the "Alt-n" moves the cursor on top of buffer instead 
of displaying the ~ char ! The french input method seems to be ignored which is 
strange in the Unicode times. I looked without success in the Preferences/Key 
menu. Same for french circumflex e (ê) impossible to get with the keyboard, etc.
IDLE is hardly usable with such behavior. It is strange that this bug seems to 
be known for months but no remedy comes from the Python community :-( I have 
not this problem with other IDE which are alas a bit too complex for beginners 
(we wish the same IDE for all OS).
The course (250 students) will start in sept. 2012. 
Thanks,

  Jean-Paul
