As I know, Python 2.2.1 on Windows doesn't have this problem. I  had to
tweak tcl setting for 2.2, though.

For people interested in Python in Japanese:
I built custom Python installer for Japanese/Win32.

http://python.jp/pub/sjis-win32/python221jp.exe

This installer contains modified version of python22.dll, Idle, pyexpat, os,
glob, fnmatch. It also contains JapaneseCodecs and Tcl/Tk 8.3.1 modified
for better IME handling.
