I am using "EPD with Py2.5 4.0.30002"when I try to launch IDLE.app which is in the above folder i get -bash: IDLE.app: command not found which is strange because when I do ls it is listed. the path to the folder is /Applications/EPD\ with\ Py2.5\ 4.0.30002 ls returns Build Applet.app Mayavi.terminal Docs Pylab.terminal Examples Python Launcher.app Extras Update Shell Profile.command IDLE.app
Then I do/get vincent-daviss-macbook-pro:EPD with Py2.5 4.0.30002 vmd$ IDLE.app -bash: IDLE.app: command not found Not sure what I am doing wrong Is the a way do download a new version of IDLE.app? That last part is ugh!
