When running IDLE from the terminal on Ubuntu, I get the following error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/serwy/python/cpython/Lib/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1442, in __call__
 return self.func(*args)
 File "./idlelib/GrepDialog.py", line 70, in default_command
 self.grep_it(prog, path)
 File "./idlelib/GrepDialog.py", line 90, in grep_it
 block = f.readlines(100000)
 File "/home/serwy/python/cpython/Lib/codecs.py", line 300, in decode
 (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 120: invalid continuation byte
The reason why IDLE closes suddenly on Windows is described in issue13582.
