Thanks Charles,
Yes, I had saved Russell's post. I'll be getting Wing in a few days (I use my monthly SS deposit to pay for my toys :~)
I wasted a month fighting with a sleazy Apple reseller, then went to Apple.com to order my G5, so by the time I got it installed Feb. was almost over. Since then I've got my LAN set up (with the clunky ol PCs :<)), worked my way through "Mac OS X Panther Unleashed" and most of the way through "Learning Python," so I'm making pretty good progress.

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).
