Does python itself work? If so, which micro version. It is in the
startup line that begins 'Python 3.5.2+ ...'. There was bug in 3.5.0
that was fixed in 3.5.1 which could impact this issue. (If you are not
using 3.5.2, I recommend upgrading. It is very easy.)

That means that something changed on your system, but what? Since you
re-installed 'the program', by which I presume you mean python3.5, the
Python and IDLE files should not be the problem. I would otherwise
suggest the user config files, usually in directory
C:/Users/<account>/.idlerc/, where <account> is the account name. But
since you tried both an admin and user account, that seems unlikey.

Definitely do this. A third possibility is that you saved a file with
the same name as an stdlib file in a place where it gets imported by
IDLE instead of the stdlib module. An error message should give a hint.
