I was using Windows and the OS correctly mapped the keyboard, typing in IDLE worked as expected, it was only my Pygame program that seemed to be using a different keymap. Since non-alphanumeric keys weren't that important, I didn't investigate and just hacked around it...
Not sure if this is connected, but when I was working on a Pygame
project with text input, it didn't detect my Japanese keyboard. It
seemed to treat it like a standard U.S. keyboard. For example, if I
pressed SHIFT-2, I got an @ instead of the correct ".
