You can't really expect a GUI toolkit to work when run from IDLE,
which uses its own GUI toolkit (Tkinter) -- even if your back-end is
the same (i.e. Tkinter). You'll get two event loops and whatnot.

Because you have two GUI event loops running.

As far as I can see, this is not Anygui's fault.

There is no reason to believe that you have support for curses inside
Tkinter.

Put it in a file named something.pyw and double-click it?
