Unless I'm very much mistaken, this is another instance of the old Cocoa Tk 
problem documented here (http://sourceforge.net/p/tktoolkit/bugs/2722/) and 
referred to in https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/.  It's not like a 
normal TclError in that it causes the embedded Tcl interpreter used by Python 
to hard crash with no chance of recovery.  This is why we strongly recommend 
people not use older versions of Cocoa Tk as, unfortunately, are still shipped 
by Apple with the latest versions of OS X.  The problem has been fixed in more 
recent versions of Cocoa Tk such as those shipped by ActiveState and which the 
python.org installer will use if installed (and will warn about if not 
installed).
