many successes one failure (the macpython2.3 IDE no longer works)

Jon: You're supposed to source /sw/bin/init.sh to set up the fink environment. If you don't do that, a lot of things won't work.

that sounds like me. A lot of things don't work. ;->
So I ran /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh as per http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/install.php? phpLang=en#setup
This gave me an encouraging message, and now (assuming I startx) idle works.

Which python is first on your path? IIRC there is a feature in darwin that wreaks havoc with the setup code in python that finds the correct prefix (and library). This ends up always picking the prefix for the first python on the path. Darwinports contains a patch for that. Using "#!/usr/bin/env /sw/bin/python" should also work.
So at this point, fink python is first on my path
208-186-56-189:~/freemind jis$ which python /sw/bin/python 208-186-56-189:~/freemind jis$ which idle /sw/bin/idle
from the command line I can now run /sw/bin/python, /usr/bin/python, and /usr/local/bin/python successfully
"idle" and "python" work too and support vpython.
Let's take inventory

Now if I double click on "/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PythonIDE.app" the startup screen appears briefly and disappears. The console gets

Curiously, if I doubleclick on the Idle in the same directory ("/Applications/MacPython-2.3/IDLE.app") I get an Xish looking idle.

So, if I have this right, I have 3 pythons, and some further variations. 8-o
Should I try reinstalling the macpython addons?
(I really appreciate everyone's help on this !)
