There may be some clues in the system.log as to why IDLE is not
launching. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and under its
File menu select Open System Log. Now try to launch IDLE again by
double-clicking on its icon and see if any suspicious messages show up
in the log. You could also try moving any IDLE preferences files out of
the way temporarily and see if that helps. From a Terminal window, type:
cd $HOME
mv .idlerc .idlerc-disabled
then try launching IDLE again.
