I agree that finding the online doc is slight pain. It is not listed in the Modules index because idlelib, not IDLE, is the stdlib module, and does not have a doc page. I may add one or, if possible, make the page serve as one, as part of this issue. 'IDLE' *is* in the Index, and the first link is the correct one. I don't control and would not unilaterally change the main page. I am hesitant because I expect that there are people who would think it unfair or deceptive to especially promote IDLE this way versus other stdlib packages and non-stdlib IDEs and editors. I might subscribe to and post on python-ideas to see what other users think. Help => IDLE Help displays an offline copy of idle.html as of the release date in a tktinker text window. Have you noticed that? Would "IDLE doc" be clearer? I could also add label with the online url and date above the text.
