Thanks for submitting the version of IDLE you were using.  It appears to be a Python 3.6.1 from 2017; the version is very old-of-date and no longer supported.  Python 3.6.x is now in security fix mode only; Python 3.8.2 is now current.  Unless you have a reallygood reason to stick with it you should download and use the latest version from here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

The reason you are getting the bad cpy type message is that the 3.6.1 variant you are trying to use was built for 32-bit architectures only.  macOS 10.15 no longer supports running 32-bit executables.  The most recent downloads from python.org for macOS are 64-bit executables and work fine on 10.15.
