Mark Dickinson added the comment:

Okay, but if a user can run IDLE with sudo, they presumably *already* have many 
other ways to use sudo to create files in /root, without using IDLE or tkinter. 
 That's why I said:  "*that they wouldn't be able to execute otherwise*".  I 
don't see the security issue here.
