[Python-3000] stdlib as .zip by default, pydoc to view source?

[Neil Schemenauer]

I wonder if it would make sense to start installing the Python
standard library as a .zip file by default.  Some benefits would be
a tidier and more compact install and slightly faster startup times.
One downside is that it becomes more difficult to look at the source
of modules.  That's an important feature of Python, especially for
people learning the language.  

I think that downside could be mitigated by adding an option to
pydoc that shows the source of a module.  For example, "pydoc -s
bisect" could show the source for the bisect module.
