Perhaps I misunderstand what you meant but "python -m module_name" is a documented Python 2 feature: https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m I think the failure to initialize when using -m idlelib after copying over __main__.py from Python 3 is caused by IDLE2's reliance on buggy import behavior fixed by Issue7902. In any case, applying 556b9bafdee8 from Python 3 seems to fix it.
