+### Attention macOS 27.0 `IDLE` or `tkinter` users
+
+When running IDLE or other GUI applications that use the `tkinter` module, these applications may hang when using an application's menu command that opens a dialog (for example, IDLE's `About IDLE`, `Settings`, and `Open Module` commands) resulting in a spinning beach ball with `Force Quit` needed.
+
+This problem is due to an operating system behavior change in macOS 27.0 that is believed to affect all current versions of the Tk graphics toolkit and thus the `tkinter` module in all current Python versions.
+
+If you depend on Tk-based applications (like IDLE) on macOS, you may want to consider deferring installing macOS 27.0 until a Tk or macOS workaround is available or testing that your application workflow is not affected. Follow issue [#158053](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/158053) for updates.
