I'm not sure what you mean here.  IDLE is a pure-Python application, though it 
does depend on the optional tkinter package.  If you're on a UNIX platform and 
Tcl/Tk headers and libraries can't be found, _tkinter won't be built and you 
won't be able to run IDLE; on Windows if you pass the --no-tkinter (or -E) flag 
to PCbuild/build.bat, _tkinter won't be built and you won't be able to run 
IDLE.  In neither case is it an error to not have _tkinter (unless you try to 
import it).

There is no "building" of IDLE itself, and thus no way to not build it :)
