It's normal that there are no errors. They get to stderr, and there is
no stderr in a GUI application.

Can you please try these steps, and report results?
1. open cmd.exe
2. cd \python26
3. python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py

Report any output that this produces.

I don't think it's pretty serious. It has a workaround; a "pretty
serious" bug doesn't have one.
