Python2.0 rpm's don't have IDLE?

[Miki]

I had the same problem. What I did was get Python 2.0 as a tarball and
install it that way. Even though IDLE doesn't install, it is still in the
"Tools" subdirectory. I just copied the entire Tools folder to
/user/local/lib/python and changed the shell script "idle" in /usr/bin to
the new path of "idle.py".
This worked for me on Redhat 6.1
