- Use objects with attributes in place of tuples of values for
return values in several places in the library. Two specific
APIs which could use this treatment include os.stat() and
os.statvfs(); see SourceForge bug #111481:
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=111481&group_id=5470
which shows very specifically why this approach is better than
the tuple approach: additional attributes can be added as needed
without having as detrimental an affect on existing code.
- os.rename() should be modified to handle EXDEV errors on
platforms that don't allow rename() to operate across filesystem
boundaries by copying the file over and removing the original.
Linux is one system that requires this treatment.

- IDLE should reload & recompile modules changed externally. To
be done properly, scripts will have to be run in a separate
process.
