Update: The fix has now been released in the latest ActiveState Tcl 8.5
for Mac OS X release (8.5.11.1) available here:
http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads
It appears to fix the French keyboard tilde problem and other similar
problems with composite characters, like Option-U + vowel to form
"umlauted" vowels in the U.S. input method. Many thanks to Adrian
Robert, Kevin Walzer, and the ActiveState team for addressing this nasty
problem.
If you install ActiveState Tcl 8.5.x, it will automatically be used by
the python.org 2.7.x, 3.2.x, and 3.3.x 64-bit/32-bit Pythons for OS X
10.6 and 10.7. It will *not* be used by the Apple-supplied system
Pythons or by 32-bit-only python.org Pythons. More details here:
