From the crash reports, it appears that you were trying to use IDLE with the Apple-supplied Tcl and Tk frameworks. OS X 10.6.x was the first release of the newer Aqua Cocoa Tk and it was very problematic.  You should have seen a warning message when IDLE 2.7.6 started, warning you about this and advising you to go to http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for further information.  (The warning is also on the download pages and in the installer Readme.)  You will read there: "you should only use IDLE or tkinter with an updated third-party Tcl/Tk 8.5, like ActiveTcl 8.5, installed".  Do that and IDLE 2.7.6 should behave properly.
