Try IDLE in an ASCII terminal:
   python Tools/scripts/idle idle-3.0rc1-quits-when-run.py

(the .py file is attached to the issue).

IDLE use open(filename, 'r') without setting the encoding. io module is not 
aware of the #coding: header.

The issue is maybe related to the terminal locale since IDLE uses a "locale 
encoding" (import IOBinding; IOBinding.encoding) which is marked 
as "deprecated" in IDLE source code.

(We should use the bug tracker to discuss this issue)
