[issue15392] Create a unittest framework for IDLE

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

regrtest now works for me, as does running test_idle.py directly and the simple minded unittest call:

  ./python -m unittest test.test_idle

However, running an individual test doesn't.  I don't see this as a show-stopper for committing this, but rather something we should figure out how to fix later.
