Either tkinter and tkinter.messagebox or subprocess must be imported to display a message when IDLE is started from an icon, and there is no console. With subprocess, '''python -i -c "print('Cannot start IDLE (or whatever)')"''' should work. If nothing else, this would be a way to display a message when import tkinter fails.
