is useless and annoying.

+
+bpo-38183: To avoid test issues, test_idle ignores the user config
+directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files
+within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings.
bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when
initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4.
