Need I submit a bug report/feature request to get this happening? Very, very pleased to have mentioned it …

I took care of the bug report.

The idle issue is https://bugs.python.org/issue25514 As I said there, I think that removing '' from sys.path, so that IDLE can run, is better than a nicer warning that it cannot run. This, of course, requires that sys not be shadowed, so that sys.path can be accessed. -- Terry Jan Reedy
