FWIW on linux (fedora 35, gnome on Xorg, python & IDLE 3.10.2, Tk

I added a "Tamil (TamilNet 99))" layout and I can't type any tamil
letters into IDLE — nothing happens unless it's a digit or punctuation
shared with ASCII.
But same happens with my Hebrew and Russian layouts!
Copy-paste of all these languages from other apps works.
Sorry, I don't know enough about Tk[inter] to help, other than
confirming this.
I tried another random python/Tkinter app (`tkconch`) and it has same
behavior in a single-line text input.
However, `git citool` which is non-python pure Tk lets me type all the
above languages into a single-line text input.
I wonder if git citool is using the same tk8.6.10 as Python or if it
includes a private and carefully selected tk source.
In any case, if tk works and tkinter does not, for non-ascii entry,
there is a tkinter issue that could be reported on bpo. Or someone
could gather more data on python-list.
