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.

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".
