You can start IDLE.app from the commandline as well using "/path/to/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/IDLE" as the command (where "/path/to" should be replaced by the directory where IDLE.app is located). This shows the stdout/stderr of IDLE.app in the terminal window, and with some luck this shows why it won't open anymore.
