I just now checked on IDLE, found it was not installed, and typed in
the terminal:

sudo apt-get install idle3

The interesting part is since IDLE needs tkinter, it installed that
dependency as well.  As far as I can tell after typing "help(tkinter)"
in the Python interpreter, it looks like *all* of tkinter got
installed.  Is this in fact true?
