Damien,

Your answer can be found in the MacPython FAQ located at

I've copied the relevant FAQ below.  Good luck!

3.7 The IDE crashes when I run a Tkinter script (PyObjC script, 
wxPython script)

The IDE uses the old Carbon GUI toolbox for its windowing. Trying to 
run a script that brings in its own GUI toolbox (such as Tck/Tk, Cocoa, 
wxWindows or anything else) will cause great confusion: redraws and 
events for the toolboxes will be sent to the wrong place, etc. At best 
things will not work as expected, at worst the IDE will crash.

  For the time being you should run almost all scripts that use a 
windowing toolbox outside the IDE, either with the pythonw program from 
a Terminal window or with PythonLauncher from the Finder.
