on Oct 4, 2022 I created a draft PR #97963 to create a new Tools/build/ sub-directory which contains scripts used to build Python. I moved 13 scripts there. Not sure if it's a good idea or not.
With PR #97963 and PR #97964, the remaining scripts in Tools/scripts/ are:
Programs (3):
- 2to3
- idle3
- pydoc3
Scripts (19):
- abitype.py
- checkpip.py
- combinerefs.py
- eptags.py
- gprof2html.py
- md5sum.py
- nm2def.py
- patchcheck.py
- pathfix.py
- pep384_macrocheck.py
- ptags.py
- reindent.py
- run_tests.py
- startuptime.py
- summarize_stats.py
- untabify.py: used by patchcheck.py
- var_access_benchmark.py
- verify_ensurepip_wheels.py
- win_add2path.py
patchcheck.py,run_tests.pyandverify_ensurepip_wheels.pyare used by the Python workflow. Does it deserve its own sub-directory?- added a commit that references this issue

on Oct 17, 2022 I removed enough scripts, I close the issue :-)
The Tools/scripts/ directory contains more than 70+ example scripts. Most of them are outdated and short scripts Python which are simple to rewrite. When I asked other core developers, they suggest to remove all of them, see the discussion:
https://discuss.python.org/t/remove-outdated-tools-scripts-scripts/19571
I created this issue to look into these scripts and see what to do with them.
