As I explained to J-M when he posted much the same to python-list, Idle's French keyboard support is faulty because tcl/tk's French keyboard support is faulty. A patch for this was recently applied to tcl/tk. I hope it will be in a released version that we can incorporate in 3.3.

I am sure we all wish that Microsoft (and Apple) would take more of a lead in moving to a one Unicode world from a 200 encodings and codepages world. I am sometimes as frustrated at the current situation as J-M. But unless he can identify a valid *Python* bug, we should close this.
