The is the right number.  When Python starts, it imports around 50 
modules.  When it runs IDLE, most of idlelib modules are imported, plus 
about 50 stdlib modules, including 4 or 5 tkinter modules.  IDLE used to 
import many more modules, but I managed to delay some until needed, and 
reduced the startup time by about 25%.

Since this is your code, the report is for the user-code execution 
process, as opposed to the IDLE GUI process.  Both processes are running 
when you get the prompt.
