[issue6008] Idle should be installed as `idle3.1` and not `idle3`

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

For OS X installer builds, this was fixed by r72723 prior to the final release of 3.1; idle is installed in the framework bin directory as idle3 with a symlink to the versioned name, i.e. idle3.n, and the optional UNIX command-line tools package installs symlinks in /usr/local/bin to both names.

For Linux, it's up to the various distributors on how they package Python 3.  For instance, it appears Debian has chosen to install the idle script as /usr/bin/idle-python3.1
