Clicking on Path Browser in the File menu gives an error instead of opening the Path Browser.

Error is printed in console window if IDLE started from one.
>>> import idlelib.idle
# Select pathbrowser in File menu
Exception in Tkinter callback

The issue is this:
1. PathBrowser subclasses ModuleBrowser.
2. ModuleBrowser.init() has the common code for initializing both.
3. #31460 changed the signature of ModuleBrowser.__init__ *and* .init.
4. I must not have tested pathbrowser after the .init change.  Bad.
5. test_pathbrowser needs a new gui test class that at least calls PathBrowser.__init__, which will call ModuleBrowser.init

3.6.3 is OK, 3.7.0a2 has this bug.  3.7.0a3 is due 11/27.  Patch should be merged before this with or without new unittests.

Module items can be expanded either by clicking [+] or double-clicking.  The latter also opens the file so that lines can be highlighted.  I have thought about disabling both, and opening a module browser instead, but I can see the usefulness of expanding several files one level deep to get an overview of parts or all of a package.  On the other hand, we might have double-click open both the module and a module browser.

I added a test for PathBrowser, but I didn't change the existing tests, except to move them to their own test class.

The reason double-clicking got worse from 3.6.3 to now is this.  Previously, browser.ModuleBrowserTreeItem.OnDoubleClick ignored the file_open global (set to pyshell.flist.open in .__init__) and called pyshell.flist.open.  The Class and Method OnDoubleClick called file_open.  So double-clicking a file name in pathbrowser opened the file, but expanding a file and double-clicking a class or function name raised "'NoneType' object is not callable".  I don't know if I ever tried the latter before.  We subsequently changed the Module DoubleClick to also use file_open, so double clicking a file name also raises. (I meant to submit this yesterday.)
