Makes it a LOT clearer that they are buttons. (I opened about 15 tabs before I noticed on the current version)

Much better for accessibility as buttons are keyboard usable.

An alternative would be to add 'link underlines' and usually done in text. I believe this can be done at least in a Text widget. But since we have buttons elsewhere, 2 more is fine.

I would rather delete info_buttons and derive the new buttons directly from frame_background (and change the grid lines to 6 and 7) as before. I want to be able to move them independently in another PR.

forums.bind("<Button-1>", lambda event: webbrowser.open(forums_url))
info_buttons = Frame(frame_background, bg=self.bg)
info_buttons.grid(row=3, column=0, columnspan=1, sticky=NSEW)
forums = Button(info_buttons, text='Python Discuss', width=35,

This URL is specifically for IDLE. This is redundant with the IDLE Docs entry in the HELP menu, but this PR is about button instead of label.

Suggested change
docs = Button(info_buttons, text='Python Documentation', width=35,
docs = Button(info_buttons, text='IDLE Documentation', width=35,
