There's already an IDLE distribution distinct from Python's:

    http://www.python.org/idle/

Note that the IDLE 0.5 there is not what was shipped with 1.5.2; I'm not
clear on why that hasn't been updated to IDLE 0.6 already (suspect just lack
of time).

I don't have a specific plan in mind either -- just "me too"ing on the idea
that it would do no harm and possibly do real good to let these peripheral
(to the core) things live on their own schedules.  I don't see any harm in
including "the latest" snapshot of them with the core distribution,
though -- it's handy for newcomers to get these things without needing to
search for them.  I know I learned a lot about Python at the start from
browsing these directories.
