libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
Abort trap: 6

Expected behavior:

It Should Open Tkinter Window.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the Code Below
2. Python Will Crash and Give the Above Error

Code

import pygame as pg
pg.init()
from tkinter import *
window = Tk()
window.mainloop()

This is a well-known limitation in TkInter, and the reason you should not use IDLE with PyGame. We probably can't fix this in the forseeable future. Maybe we need a prominent "gotchas" page in the docs where this is mentioned.

And This Would Work on Windows, But not On Mac.

The code in this issue works fine on Windows. Would be good to retest on modern macs.
