Actually, that's not what the primary problem was. It was a severely 
misconfigured home directory, both permissions and groups.  I'm not sure how 
that situation was created (possibly through inadvertent sysadmin commands from 
the shell) but it's not something that IDLE needs to worry about; such a 
configuration breaks lots of other system programs.  In other words, the OP's 
system was broken.
