Kernel always crashes when using Tkinter

Every time I’ve tried to use Tkinter in Spyder the kernel has crashed on me and I’ve had to restart it. I try running the simple “hello world” program included under the Tkinter help and get the following message in my kernel upon crashing:

I only have this problem when trying to run such programs in Spyder. They run fine in Jupyter, qt console, and in the command line python. I also tried downgrading to previous versions of Spyder and got the same issues.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. If this is a bug, please fix.
2. If this is not a bug, please point me to a fix if possible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see error messages and my kernel crashes. That’s it.

Please provide any additional information below

I run Spyder via Anaconda.

Versions and main components

• Spyder Version: 3.2.0 (tried on 3.1.4 as well and got problems too)
• Python Version: 2.7
• Qt Version: 4.3.0
• PyQt Version:
• Operating system: macOS Sierra

@jilanr, did you activate Tk as a graphics backend in our preferences?

I have the same problem with Spyder 3.2 and Mac OS Sierra
