Well, you could make a shell script (call it "idle-n.sh"): echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/Desktop/idle-n.sh echo "python3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/idlelib/idle.py -n" >> ~/Desktop/idle-n.sh chmod a+x ~/Desktop/idle-n.sh Then Cmd+I the shell script in Finder, and drag a new icon over the existing one in the inspector (this worked in testing with another file of a different type).
