If you can't run IDLE via `py -3.10-32 -m idlelib`, then something
isn't installed properly. You reported an error that IDLE fails to
load because importing tkinter fails. Did you try `import tkinter` in
the REPL? tkinter depends on the _tkinter extension module. Try
`import _tkinter`. If the latter fails because of a missing DLL
dependency, check the "DLLs" directory in the installation directory
for the TCL/Tk dependencies. They're "tcl86t.dll" and "tk86t.dll" for
Python 3.10. The installation directory should also have a "tcl"
directory, which should contain "tcl8.6" and "tk8.6" directories among
others, with many .tcl files.
