The Mac issue is the inability to add .xyz directories to the home directory. You can test a fix by entering 'mkdir .idlerc' at the terminal prompt. The IDLE issue is that IDLE quits when it cannot create .idlerc. In this respect, this is a duplicate of #8231. That this can happen after what seemed like a 'normal' install (on a home machine?) gives me a bit more impetus to work on that issue.
