Hey Thanks a tonne Alan After your tip , I got fink IDLE to load pymol without any problem . I also got my home gentoo linux python 2.5 and idle to load pymol the same way. Now I have full code completion to write up my pymol scripts if I idle correctly.
On an academic note, Just wondering why the Mac idle2.5 goofs up. I read something about idle running on a tkinter thread and pymol wanting to do the same thing. Anyways I guess the solution to the problem is to install fink on all macs in cases where I want to use IDLE for pymol script writing.
