Right, I am pretty sure that the "toplevel" source of idle is in dir-to-pylibs/idlelib/idle.py (or maybe .pyw) that is were all the glue code is for idle, as for the python source, I haven't messed around with it too much so I couldn' tell you, well just have to wait for somone else to post that information...
