IDLE should be in your package manager - along with zillions of
other Python packages. You should just need to select it and
install it. The caveat is that I don't use Mageia but that's
how it works on every other Linux Python I've used.

On my Mint system I use Synaptic as a package manager and typing
idle into the search box brings up a long list in the form

idle-pythonX.Y

Where X.Y represent every version from 2.3 through to 3.6
Just select the version corresponding to your installed
Python.
