Python tkinter and Pysimple GUI elements are not clickable after upgrading the macOS to Sonoma 14.0 and then upgrade to Sonoma 14.1.

Mac OS Version is 14.1 and patch enabled so applying the patch

2023-10-26 00:00:06.469 Python[4769:35621] WARNING: Secure coding is not enabled for restorable state! Enable secure coding by implementing NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState: and returning YES.

I see above warning and when the UI is launched the GUI elements are not clickable. I am clueless how to address this issue in Python and continue with my development work.

Please provide me the guidance on how I can address this issue soon.

Windows, Windows 10

I have the same problem running Python3.11.1 and MacOS 14.1.1. It sounds like Tkinter needs to be recompiled. Is this been fixed on Python 3.12.0 for Tkinter? "NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState: and returning YES.".
