What's your plan for installers for Py3.6?
In a world where backward compatibility is not an issue I'd definitely advocate
trying to move to some kind off .app as the installation.
That is: have a {SomeName}.app that contains the entire Python installation.
Arguably SomeName could be IDLE, but it could also be a new custom GUI that
does "stuff". There'd obviously also need to be a documented way to get to the
actual sys.prefix from the command-line.
The advantage of this is that users don't have to use on an installer at all,
just drop {SomeName}.app in the filesystem and use it.
Getting this to work might be quite a lot of work though, the current binaries
are not linked in such a way that this is possible and pyvenv also complicates
things.
A major disadvantage is that this likely breaks at least some users workflow.
