[issue1222721] tk + setlocale problems...

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The backspace issue seems to have been fixed.

I modified bug.py for 3.1 by removing the coding cookie, changing unicode("Ïðîáà", "KOI8-R") to just "Ïðîáà", and fixing print. Running from IDLE, it ran and displayed a tk window with text entry and labelled button that printed "Friday" in the shell window.

On the other hand, "I also found that the problem only appears when the LC_NUMERIC setting is different to en_US. (for example if it is de_AT)" suggests that other might have a problem (I am in the US).

Sidenote: Since the obscure koi8-R encoding (no longer valid in 3.x, the interpreter said) is not described as part of the bug, it should not be part of a minimal example.
