[issue8231] Unable to run IDLE without write-access to home directory

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

Issue17864 is a duplicate of this.  Also, note the error reported here is a result of IDLE not having write access in the user's home directory and thus cannot create the .idlerc directory.  IDLE seems to handle more gracefully the case of .idlerc existing but not writable.
