Probably so. I wonder if it makes sense to put them in a package (e.g. a `scripts' package)?

No, the point is that most of them ought to be converted into a usable library module, whose __main__ is just a simple way to invoke it. Many existing library modules already have this: e.g. pdb, profile, mimify, base64, etc. If you're going to keep them *just* as scripts, then they should remain in Tools. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
