Using an older python version might work (in the post they suggest 3.7.1)
No joy, i'm afraid.

Tried a bunch of things- different Python versions (using both the regular installers and via HomeBrew/pyenv), the latest Tcl/tk version (took me ages to get the damn thing recognised over the faulty 8.5.9 version that comes with the OS) I managed to get past Idle crashing, only to get stuck at Idle being unable to connect to a TCP/IP port.

Hopefully, someone with more Python experience than me can make better sense of it for macOS.

It was a breeze to get it working on Windows- install Python, double click your file, done
