Title:
  IDLE crashes on Control+Space (show completion menus)

Status in “python3-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: idle3

  Under IDLE (all versions), Control+Space (show completion menus) induces a crash.
  Tested on 'idle3' under Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 -- bug present and reproducible.
  Tested on 'idle3' Windows 7 & XP -- bug not present.

  When pressing Control+Space, you would expect it to show completions
  however, I have observed:

      * Instead of showing completions, IDLE crashes completely
      * It is the result of a problem with the  UTF-8 encoding, see trace back below
      * A work-around is to map this function to a non-crash-inducing key combination, but Control+Space would be ideal

  Traceback:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/idle3", line 5, in <module>
      main()
    File "/usr/lib/python3.1/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1420, in main
      root.mainloop()
    File "/usr/lib/python3.1/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1012, in mainloop
      self.tk.mainloop(n)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 0: invalid start byte

  I expect that this would be very easy to fix.
