Oh, nasty!  The good news is: it's not a Mavericks or even an OS X specific 
bug in IDLE.  Looks like any attempt at opening a file in IDLE 2.7.6rc1 will 
cause IDLE to crash or hang.  That's rather embarrassing!  I've opened a 
release blocker issue for the problem here:

http://bugs.python.org/issue19426

Thanks very much, Michael, for noticing it!  If you find any other problems, 
please open issues for them on the Python bug tracker if there isn't already 
an issue there.
