tkinter.Tk(className='\U0010FFFF')(and the underlying_tkinter.create()) crashes with a segfault when tkinter is built against Tcl/Tk 8.x.The class name is title-cased during Tk initialization, and Tcl 8.x crashes in
Tcl_UtfToTitle()on non-BMP characters (encoded as 4-byte UTF-8 sequences). Such a className is now rejected with aValueErrorbefore Tk is initialized.Tcl 9 supports non-BMP characters and is not affected; the check is compiled out there.
Among the other string arguments of
_tkinter.create(), onlyclassNameis affected —screenName,baseNameandusefail gracefully.(The same Tcl 8.x bug also affects
Tcl_UtfToUpper()/Tcl_UtfToLower(), reachable via e.g.tk.call('string', 'toupper', ...), but that is a general Tcl issue that cannot be guarded on the CPython side.)🤖 Generated with Claude Code
