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,
