I guess that's true with the exception of the python base package itself which is both a library *AND* an application, and things like idle.

Is Idle just a python application or is it also used as a library? I'm afraid I haven't looked so I don't know how strange it is under this scheme.

The thing about idle is that it's provided by Python, it's not a library, but it's only used by developers of Python with Python. So, it's not a library, but it doesn't feel to me like it should be just called "idle" as opposed to "python(3)?-idle".
