[issue25356] Idle (Python 3.4 on Ubuntu) does not allow typing accents

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Ankit: the issue is where do they fail, why, and how to fix.  Are you running Ubuntu also?

G.C. How do you start IDLE? Is the problem with exactly those three chars? Do they fail in the Shell? an editor? search box? other entry box such as you get with Alt-M? Open file dialog (control-O)?

Does this have expected output?

for m in range(32, 128, 16):
    for n in range(16):
        print(chr(m + n), ' ', end='')
    print()
# should print
   !  "  #  $  %  &  '  (  )  *  +  ,  -  .  /  
0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  :  ;  <  =  >  ?  
@  A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  
P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z  [  \  ]  ^  _  
`  a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k  l  m  n  o  
p  q  r  s  t  u  v  w  x  y  z  {  |  }  ~
