I had this issue too, I realised that I had installed the 32bit version on a
machine running 64bit. So I uninstalled and installed the 64bit and it's fine
now.

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

Unfortunately, there is not much to check now that you got it working. Doing
what Roger first asked for might have given insights, but we can now not
determine the issue anymore.
So closing this as works for me.

Can you launch Python from a command line and then launch IDLE from there?
cd c:\python33
python
After python starts, enter the following:
import idlelib.idle

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried re-installing it 3-4 times and it started working now.

I wonder if there is a bug in the Python installer on the new Windows 8
platform, though it is unlikely.
I will leave this issue open for Windows 8 developers to comment. (I don't have
Win8 for testing just yet.) Feel free to close.
