I'm puzzled by this, too. If you set up a shell script to drive
python ......idlelib/idle.pyw
then you get all of IDLE's capabilities, including the options menu. It
looks like someone went to a lot of trouble on the Mac to make a special
"IDLE" app that is crippled.
I'm having trouble getting a full Python build from sources to work
on my OS/X Leopard box (Tkinter problems). However, I've just installed
Python 2.6 using ActiveState's 2.6. Using that, and the command line
"python -m idlelib.idle", I see both the "Options / Configure IDLE..."
and I see the new "Preferences...." entry under the title.
However, there's more crippling, because with either kind of access to
IDLE, there are serious mouse interaction problems, at least with Python
2.5. Click in some text, and the insertion point ends up somewhere else.
Drag the scrollbar and it sticks and gets behind.
There seem to be even bigger problems with Python 2.6.
I note that that terminal window has a lot of outputs like:
RCNE SendEventToEventTarget (suom Moved ) failed, -50
And a few:
RCNE SendEventToEventTarget (suom 8 ) failed, -9870
RCNE SendEventToEventTarget (suom 9 ) failed, -9870
