But python-base would surely appear to be the base install of python,
wouldn't it? I don't know what distro that package was coming from,
but I would guess that it's what corresponds to the python package on
Fedora, which is installed by default AFAIK.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Did you have idle installed
via rpm and an upgrade removed it? If it wasn't installed previously,
there's no reason to expect an upgrade to install it. I would
consider it a bug if it did (unless somehow idle became required to
run one of the other python packages that was being upgraded).
