I'm using Archlinux and I find I don't need Idle when I'm coding Python.

Here is the part of default PKGBUILD file:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr \
                --enable-shared \
                --with-threads \
                --with-computed-gotos \
                --enable-ipv6 \
                --with-valgrind \
                --with-system-expat \
                --with-dbmliborder=gdbm:ndbm \
                --with-system-ffi

Can I build python without installing Idle?
Thanks in advance.
