If you are smart enough, you can use a string.
On windows, with that string can make IDLE, tkinter,
and finally Python crash. No msg at all. The
main windows just desappears. It's quite clean,
not even a Python engine in the task manager.

For the record, I discovered this when toying
with my unicode plain text editor, I can now throw away,
an editor perfectly working with py32.
