Could you file an issue about this in the python tracker? It should be  
possible to add a setting to IDLE's preferences that selects whether  
or not you want the '-n' flag.

It is definitely possible to create a simple .app bundle that runs as- 
if you specified the '-n' flag, I'll see if I can make some time to  
build that.
