Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I should have said that the problem with having '' at the beginning of the path is that when IDLE tries to import an stdlib module and '' (usually a user directory) contain a file with the same name, IDLE will import the user file instead and at some point likely exit. For example, a user file named code.py masks the stdlib code.py, which is essential to Shell operation (#29395).
