I like the idea of the name change, and that it encompasses

something like “IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning
Environment” (i.e. the tkinter stuff isn’t hugely important to the
user audience, and the possessive “Python’s” captures the “for
Python” as well as it’s built-in as part of Python.

OK. The tkinter/tk part is not needed here in the user doc. It is only really needed later to explain why IDLE windows, and in particular the Shell, act a bit differently from a console/terminal window.

propose that IDLE be renamed or at least viewed as a acronym for
"Integrated Development and Learning Environment".  (See below for
history.) The specific change would be to make the first line of
idle.rst and derivatives read (something like) "IDLE is an
Integrated Development and Learning Environment for Python, writen
in Python with the tkinter GUI package."
