The problem here undoubtedly is that the Python you are using is linked with the Apple-provided system version of Tk 8.5.9 which exhibits this nasty behavior of crashing when pressing a composing key. The system version of Tk is woefully out of date with other serious bugs and hasn’t been updated by Apple for many macOS releases despite many bug reports. Their response has been to deprecate the system Tk and they will eventually remove it. That’s why Python binary installers from Python.org now provide their own copy of Tk 8.6. You should update to a macOS build of Python 3.8 or 3.9 that also uses a newer version of Tk. Issue22566 has more details.
