Is there any chance of getting these changes into 2.7 as well? There will be bugfix updates for 2.7, and David Beazley just tweeted about how the IDLE experience with Python 2.7 got much worse compared to 2.6.
If there are new features in the patch, it would violate the 'no new features in bugfixes' policy. On the other hand, since IDLE is used interactively rather than in programs, I do not think the reason for the policy applies as strongly as to everything else in the stdlib.
Bruce, if you post a 2.7 patch with new features, please quote Guido's request so that tracker gardeners will know that it has BDFL approval in that regard.
