You should be able to put this in a double-clickable file by putting  
that string in a file called, say, IDLE.command and then making it  
executable.  Files ending in ".command" are recognised by Launch  
Services as shell scripts (I believe).  That is:

	cat >IDLE.command <<!
	python3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/ 
python3.1/idlelib/idle.py -n
	!
	chmod +x IDLE.command

If you double click that it should launch the app as expected.

	Ben.
