Just put it in a Unicode string or in a raw string encoded in UTF-8 and you 
should be going:

 >>> from Tkinter import *
 >>> root = Tk()
 >>> s = 'àéèù: ça marche!'
 >>> u = unicode(s, 'iso8859-1')
 >>> Label(root, text=u).pack()

(The code above supposes your default encoding is iso8859-1, a.k.a latin-1; 
otherwise, you can do: s = '\xe0\xe9\xe8\xf9: \xe7a marche!')
