Thanks everyone so far for the help.
In regard to IDLE - right now when I type IDLE at the terminal I get
a python shell that looks like the attached image (myidle.jpg). As
you can see there is no real GUI with menu, as opposed to the full
IDLE program (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Idle_gui.png)
that usually includes "File, Edit, Shell, Debug, Options, Windows,
Help...
Any suggestions about how to get that running on my mac, especially
using Python 3.0 as the interpreter?
Happy Holidays to everyone.

This looks like a perfectly normal IDLE window to me...
You said in a previous message that you're a newbie (so please excuse
me if I'm asking something ridiculous:-): are you aware of the fact
that Mac programs have their menu bar at the top of the screen, not
inside the window (as it is on Windows)?
The File/Edit/etc menus should be in the system menubar, at top-of-
screen. So, either you've overlooked them, or (more probable) they're
somehow missing in IDLE for Python 3.0. If the latter is the case:
what do you see in the menu bar?
You may also want to try running IDLE from a Terminal window, just to
check that it isn't giving useful output on stderr ("Error creating
menu bar: bla bla bla").
