Thanks to "Serge Orlov" for the hint: "run C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib>idle.py -h"
Following works for me now if I start IDLE by following console command: C:\Python24\pythonw.exe C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\idle.py -c "import os;from path import path" The IDLE console prompt appears in the second line (so -c "import os;from path import path" probably fakes execution of an input line) and os and path modules are available for usage. To be honest I don't like this solution and the solution with setting any environment variable. I would be much more happy to understand how I can modify PyShell.py or another script file IDLE uses in order to achieve same effect.
