I am using mac with python 2.5.2 and IDLE verison 1.2.2. in the help it

do I change the color (text and background)
There is supposed to be a Preferences menu option for IDLE on OS X but,
depending on the Python version and how IDLE is launched, it may or may
not appear due to various bugs. (I'm working on some patches for these.)
I'd love to get these patches so we can include them in EPD. Is there an issue
on the Python bug tracker that I can follow?
If you have been launching IDLE via /Applications/MacPython
2.5/IDLE.app, try launching it via the shell command line:
/usr/local/bin/idle2.5.
In Vincent's case (EPD), this would be
/Library/Frameworks/Python/Versions/Current/bin/idle2.5 .
There may now be a working Preferences menu
item under the Python item in the menu bar; there may also be an Options
-> Configure IDLE... .
Yes, to both.
