    Per Martin's request, this issue has been separated from bpo-14200.

    The IDLE shell presently has an effective locale of "BMP UTF8" due to a limitation in Tkinter, described in bpo-12342.

    IDLE should support different output codecs, like "ascii" and "utf8". In order to work around Tkinter's limitations, unsupported characters would be replaced (this is related to bpo-14304).

    This amounts to adding some extra code to OutputWindow's write() to raise encoding errors if the string contains unsupported characters.

    @terry one that appears to have escaped your eagle eye :)

    I do not understand this issue. Locales (the title) and codecs (the message) are different things. A Tk Text widget, with Idle's wrapper, is essentially a BMP terminal. That is one thing that makes Idle's Shell better than Window's command prompt. An ascii codec would add to tk's limitations, not work around them. bpo-14304 does what I think is needed.

    Pending some clarification of the proposal and benefits, I think this should be closed.
