[Bug 1840398] [NEW] idle-python3.6 is not detectable by Ubuntu Software and does not appear in Nautilus

[SunBear]

Public bug reported:

idle-python3.6 is not detectable by Ubuntu Software nor is it detectable
by Nautilus as an application that can be used to open .py files. This
should not be the case. It used to be available in Ubuntu 16.04.Users
will need these features to improve work productivity.
