python aborts when calling method in turtle

Question

I am just trying to do some learning with turtle. But for some reason I get this error message when trying to import and run the script:

macOS 11 or later required !
[1]    1673 abort      python3 day16_turtle.py

Here is the code I tried to run:

import turtle

timmy = turtle.Turtle()

print(timmy)

I can import turtle normal but when I try to run this line it gives me the above error to timmy = turtle.Turtle()

Also, the VS Code shows the below 3 messages:

Also, my mac produces a problem report (which I won't post it here, see photo):

Does anyone know why is this?? I'm using MacOS 11.1, VS Code, Python 3.9

You will need to also show the code you're attempting to run. — AKX, Dec 18 '20 at 11:07
It honestly looks like there's something wrong with your Python/Tkinter installation, since the same code (aside from a typo fix) works fine for me. — AKX, Dec 18 '20 at 12:43
hum... any idea on how to re-install to make sure it's right? — j_zzzz, Dec 18 '20 at 12:43
I narrowed down the abort error happens at line: timmy = turtle.Turtle() — j_zzzz, Dec 18 '20 at 14:08
have you tried running it in other IDEs such as pycharm community edition? It may have to do with your environment. — Steven Barnard, Dec 18 '20 at 17:50
I tried running this on my terminal and gives me the same error. So it's not an IDE issue? — j_zzzz, Dec 19 '20 at 07:23

Seems like it's a known issue with the way brew installs Python and doesn't support tkinter on macOS 11. I am just going to wait for a fix and hopefully it will be solved next brew update && upgrade I do. Reference here: Interpreter crashes trying to use tkinter library

I had the same issue. Solved it by installing Python3.9.1 directly from python.org (uninstalling existing 3.9 not required).
