Idle crashes systematically when holding the ^button, which is regularly used in French. Very very annoying.

From the crash report provided, you are using the buggy Apple-supplied system Tcl/Tk 8.5 in OS X 10.7.  You should have seen a warning message about this when starting IDLE.  There are also warnings in the installer README and the download pages.  Please download and install an up-to-date version of Tcl/Tk 8.5.15, for example, from ActiveState (http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads).  More information is available here:  https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/

Thanks Ned for the advice & the links, indeed, there is a warning. The Tcl/Tk 8.5.15 version works like a charm!
