One should include OS with failure questions and perhaps how installed.
Appears to be macOS, installed with ???

For 3.x, '.idle' is not needed.

It is very much supposed to, so you installation seems faulty. I am
running IDLE on macOS with 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10, installed with the
python.org installer.
This is one of the few circumstances for which I suggest re-installing.
