amundell added the comment: I had a similar issue in Win8, but occured after installing another program. My issue was related to the TCL_Library environment variable. If it is related to this error it can be confirmed by opening the command prompt, changing dir to cd c:\python33\ and typing python. Once python has started write import idlelib.idle. If idle does not start, read the errors and check to see if a TCL-related error has been generated. If this error has occured change the environment variable (ControlPanel\right click System\change settings\advanced tab\environment variable\select TCL_Library. Alter the the path to C:\Python33\tcl\tcl8.5. idle should then start. However you may have issues/conflict with other installed programs that access the TCL_Library. Hope this helps.
