Yes as mentioned I'm running Debian GNU/Linux, not Windows.  By "idle is installed in /usr/bin" I mean that it is an executable shell script stored at /usr/bin/idle .  Yes, shell prompt is the $ prompt to bash.  When I run "python3 -m idlelib", /usr/bin does not appear in sys.path.  "python -m idlelib" attempts to run python2 and I don't have python2 idle installed.  I'll see if I can figure out what's going on with sys.path in the user process.  The explanation about the two processes was helpful.  Thanks.
