It now escapes them with a backslash, like the regular +Python interpreter. Add an errors field to the standard streams. + +bpo-13153: Improve tkinter's handing of non-BMP (astral) unicode +characters, such as 'rocket \U0001f680'. Whether a proper glyph or +replacement char is displayed depends on the OS and font. For IDLE, +astral chars in code interfere with editing. + bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying.
