Just a followup on this... I managed to get a student to work through it with me. The problem was with the IDLE shortcut on the desktop & start menu. When she manually dug through directories and opened idle.pyw, it worked fine.
Of course, once it worked, she didn't try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that fixed it.
