Put imports at the top, unless there is a good reason otherwise.
PEP 8 says to group stdlib, 3rd-party dependencies, and package imports.
For idlelib, the groups are general stdlib, tkinter, and idlelib.

Within module imports like "from idlelib.mod import class" may cause
circular imports to deadlock. Even without this, circular imports may
require at least one of the imports to be delayed until a function call.
What's New entries
------------------
Repository directory Doc/whatsnew/ has a file 3.n.rst for each 3.n
Python version. For the first entry in each file, add subsection
'IDLE and idlelib', in alphabetical position, to the 'Improved Modules'
section. For the rest of cpython, entries to 3.(n+1).rst begin with
the release of 3.n.0b1. For IDLE, entries for features backported from
'main' to '3.n' during its beta period do not got in 3.(n+1).rst. The
latter usually gets its first entry during the 3.n.0 candidate period
or after the 3.n.0 release.
When, as per PEP 434, feature changes are backported, entries are placed
in the 3.n.rst file *in the main branch* for each Python version n that
gets the backport. (Note: the format of entries have varied between
versions.) Add a line "New in 3.n maintenance releases." before the
first back-ported feature after 3.n.0 is released. Since each older
version file gets a different number of backports, it is easiest to
make a separate PR for each file and label it with the backports
needed.
