A number of .py files are not installed in the mac installer.  While python programs run OK, this thwarts users from using IDEs like Aptana Studio/PyDev.  For those of us who are python dabblers, this makes it nearly impossible to write/debug python code.

urllib.py is an example.

Here is the note from PyDev which works with Aptana Studio http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html (though installing python as they discuss doesn't fix the problem, and the /lib folder thing is probably beyond most of us to figure out):

"IMPORTANT for Mac users: The Python version that usually ships with Mac doesn't seem to have the .py source files 
available, which are required for PyDev, so, using a different interpreter is recommended (i.e.: Download it from http://python.org). If you don't want to use a different interpreter, get the source files for the Python '/Lib' folder
and add those to the system installation.

After those steps, you should have a screen as presented below:..."

How about changing the install so IDEs like pydev, for all versions?  A few extra bytes of disk space probably won't harm anything.
