OT: if you add more unrelated topics to a mail, the chances of answers
decrease because of more research that is needed...

That is there in the python312 and python313 packages since the
original import of them (2023 in the case of python312). It's the
Integrated Development and Learning Environment, and a standard part

which package it belongs to.
