Wanted to learn python, got Mark Summerfield's new book "Programming in
Python 3". Having a hard time getting python 3 and IDLE working on my
Mac with Leopard. The mac "resources" on the python.org site seem a bit
out of date, and don't really mention python 3. Are there any resources
out there? Is the python community just not interested in Macs? I've
tried googling and the usual search strategies. Any help would be
appreciated.

Activestate has a Python 3.0 distribution for 8 or 9 platforms including
Mac OS X:

IDLE works well here on Leopard (calltips etc) and they have bundled
documentation in Apple help format.
Note:
I installed ActiveTcl prior to installing Python 3.0:

I'm not sure if this was necessary for proper IDLE function or not. Both
ActivePython 3.0 and ActiveTcl installs were painless.
