It seems that the current warning
  WARNING: The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) in use may be unstable. Visit
  http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for current information.
is not visible or strong enough to prevent spurious issues like this.

I would like to either 1. make it much more visible -- all caps or whatever -- stronger -- "is buggy, will eventually fail" -- and explicitly request "don't report problems if you continue"; or 2. require 8.5.15 or even 8.6.x and refuse to continue and exit.

Does IDLE every run long enough with Apple's tk before failure to make continuing useful?

Any comments here before I open a new issue?
