Summary: There are two prospective Google Summer of Code (GSOC) students applying to work on writing a gui interface to the basic pip functions needed by beginners. I expect Google to accept their proposals. Before I commit to mentoring a student (sometime in April), I would like to be sure, by addressing any objections now, that I will be able to commit the code when ready (August or before).

Thoughts?

I think it's a great idea, and have no objections. pip is now included by default, yes? In those cases where it isn't, IDLE could let the user know they need to install it.
