Welcome to the Wing bandwagon (??). I like it a whole lot. It works a
little more easily on Windows (which I use only to build
distributables) than on Mac (where I use it all the time), because of
the X11 layer on Mac; but it works well and has great support. I
strongly recommend that you download and install the Mac keymap that
Russell Owen just posted here. It reduces the alien feel of X11 a fair
amount.

Just a followup. I thought since I was the one that complained
_coupled_ with Bob's mention of not much help in pulling it all
together on OS X, that I would see if I was far enough along yet to
prepare the needed Help Viewer resource to include in the pythonIDE
package.
Kevin Walzer graciously pointed me at the appropriate ADC
instructions, and Robert Kern tried to make it even simpler by
pointing me to the applicable scripts in the 2.4 source distribution.
After studying both approaches I believe it would take *me* a minimum
of several days to create the said resource file, or even longer
trying to use the source distribution scripts (figuring out exactly
how to). One thing I did note in the scripts is that Jack makes some
changes in the docs that he must believe are appropriate and if I were
to take the former approach (ADC instructions) I should mimic in the
spirit of he and Bob's work.
Balancing this with the relevant need (does anyone other than a novice
like me even care about PythonIDE on a Mac?) and that I've decided to
bite the bullet and go with Wing, I've decided to forego this little
exercise (barring any crowd riot :~) and proceed with my Python
learning cycle (after which I might be able to provide more meaningful
help in furthering Python on Mac OS X).
