For module in idlelib modules:
    Create test_module from new template.py.
    Add 'module' to docstring and import.
    Check other minimal imports.
    Create instance of each class, with requires('gui') if needed.
    Add initial coverage of this test.

I am also reviewing existing tests.

PR initially adds template, 1 new file, and edits 3 others.  Needs blurb.   I will add more, but will likely break this up into multiple PRs.  This should, of course, been done years ago.

Reviews welcome, non-Windows test would be good.  (Tal, what do you have?)

My main laptop is currently Windows 10, I use it for most CPython work.

I also have PCs running OSX, Ubuntu and Windows 7.

Terry, let me know what and when you'd like me to run on which OSs, and I'll get it done :)

debugger and debugger_r: tests are subminimal because instantiating classes is not trivial.
dynoption: skipped because I expect it will be replaced and deleted when I review PR to do so.
editor: I discovered, or rediscovered, a new shutdown issue, with EditorWindow.  It appeared in the new test_flist also.  This time, I discovered how to solve it with tcl after info, thanks to Cheryl using it for test_codecontext.
---
I am going to break this into 3 PRs.  The first third is done.  Having written this much, I think the new code is very unlikely to break on other OSes, so I don't think special testing is necessary before merging.

Tal, if you have a cpython clone on your OSX machine, it would be nice to have "python -m test.test_idle" (which runs gui tests) run in an updated repository at least once a week if there is anything new.

Spinoffs:
 change rstrip.RstripExtension to Rstrip
 change stackviewer.StackBrowser to accept exception

Change windows.py to window.py, in line with change of menu.  Should be safer with everything imported.

Still open for a patch explaining idle_test.template in README.

I opened #33904 for rstrip, #33905 for stackbrowser, #33906 for windows, and #33907 for calltips/CallTip renaming.

#33917 is about fixing and documenting template.py.
