to get the actual characters you need to specify the character encoding. Make sure when use/deal with non-ascii character you specify the encoding type.

So label displaying the text you wanted...

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
 
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Label(root, text = "itself ‘a parody’.").pack()
root.mainloop()
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Label(root, text = "itself ‘a parody’.").pack()
root.mainloop()

There are many encodings that Python supports. I have used UTF-8(UNICODE Tranformation Format).

To learn/know more about this you can go through the following link.
