If someone can suggest newbie-comprehensible text, I think that's a good idea. It's easy enough to add a new dialog to the installer, and I'd insert this as the first dialog presented. People who have installed Python before would notice it then, since it would be both the first thing they see, and brand new.

Maybe use the text from the shell banner in Patch 778286.

I will if it gets pursued, but I don't like the installer idea anymore, because you plan to do plenty already to warn IDLE users about these issues.
