Were we going to remove this from 2.7 also? I'm working on splitting two of my Tools (pynche and world) off into separate projects and can't remember what we decided about that.

I'm confused. The point of #5756 was that 3.x builds are broken because the installation of idle, pydoc, 2to3, and smtpd.py have been commented out in setup.py and thus these scripts are no longer being installed.
Unless I'm missing something, that's the only way they were being installed in any form. If nothing else, the change breaks the OSX installer build.

If they were removed deliberately (and are intended to be removed from 2.7??), there needs to be some replacement and/or doc changes, no?
