@fxcoudert: If you are trying to link with the Apple-provided system Tcl and Tk frameworks, don't.  They have been seriously broken since macOS 10.7 and stuck at Tk 8.5.9. The only visible Apple action has been to deprecate them. Any Python on macOS that claims to support tkinter (and, hence, IDLE) *must* be able to link with, and preferably supply, newer versions of Tcl and Tk. And for use on current versions of macOS, that also means Tcl/Tk 8.6.x, not 8.5.x.
