I tried it out:

$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ touch string.py
$ idle3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/idlelib/run.py", line 12, in <module>
    from idlelib import CallTips
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/idlelib/CallTips.py", line 16, in <module>
    from idlelib.HyperParser import HyperParser
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/idlelib/HyperParser.py", line 14, in <module>
    _ASCII_ID_CHARS = frozenset(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ascii_letters'

Then idle shows the message and quits after you hit OK.

Is there a bug report?
