Hey there. I got this first issue fixed now. If you meet people with a similar problem, keep in mind that in the terminal you can just type "which python" ;) ... that will lead you to the source of the python interpreter.
I have very basic problems now, which I for some reason am not able to solve with basic FAQs and manuals. Perhaps my questions are too "noobish" ... I am able to create a PyDev project in Eclipse, but since this is my first programming language, I am lost in using Eclipse. What I am looking for is some kind of command line (I used MacTerminal for that, but it's annoying), and also some way to open a new python file, put in code, and run it when I feel like it. How exactly do I do that in Eclipse? Do I need Eclipse for that at all, or are there are "lighter" programs who do that kind of job (command line + editor for files which you can just run)?
