Are you by any chance trying to launch idle when you have changed your working 
directory to /usr/local/bin?  You shouldn't do that.

Try the following:

cd ~
sudo rm -rf .idlerc
cd Desktop
/usr/local/bin/idle2.7

and see if that works.  You should never have to run idle undo sudo and you 
never should!
