Hey there!

I'm starting to learn python and in one of the classes I noticed when I tried to do 2^2 and then the IDLE crashes when i try to input the character "^". It also crashes with ~´`

Im using a macbook, macOS 10.13.3 and a Portuguese keyboard.
Can someone help? pls?

define what you mean by crash. You mean a traceback error?

The IDLE app shutdown. I press "~" and it just close.

When i start the IDLE i have this message:
Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 23 2015, 02:52:03)

I already installed version 8.6.7, but still have the same warning oO

might be a version mismathc of python and tk....not sure though.

However i can say that IDLE is probably one of the worst IDE's out there...and unfortunately is packaged with python by default. I would choose another one from the list

Try using \ before it.
E.g.

print ("2\^2")
