IDLE is itself a python program. I think you will need to run Idle as root using sudo.

I and others have found that Idle does peculiar things when running programs from it. I find it best to use Idle just as an editor and run the program from a terminal window.

Your second problem, I think you need to import time

In standard Grpahics environment from main menu select "Run" and type in

For Python 2

Code: Select all

sudo idle

For Python 3

Code: Select all

sudo idle3

If you need the root permissions for GPIO and the like, do NOT use the other icons for IDLE
