Terry, thanks for recording this into the issue tracker.

I'd go even a step further. I think IDLE should not only warn, but completely 
prevent saving a file which shadows a stdlib module, which will effectively 
render Python unusable. I remember from a few weeks back, a teacher with the 
same problem posted this on the mailinglist. Eventually she had a technician 
coming in to reinstall Windows, just to fix this problem ;-) What an overkill...

Greetings,
