IDLE uses Python's tcl/tk interface module, called 'tkinter'.  Tcl is a separate language and tk is its graphical user interface.  This is most likely the problem.  Did you follow the advice at
https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
to install tcl/tk 8.5.18?  Make sure you read the whole page.

To test better, run 'import tkinter' at Python's interactive '>>>' prompt.  Any error message?  If that works, run 'python3.6 -m idlelib' and/or 'python -m idlelib.idle' at the terminal '...$' prompt.  Does that display an error message?
