Although the OP seems no longer interested, I'd now advise anyone interested yo read the entire section on installing VPython (v5) on OS/X. It has a very clear set of things to do to get Python 2.5 and IDLE working. You can simply skip the steps for downloading and installing VPython if you like. http://www.vpython.org/contents/download_mac.html As to why it is on vpython.org rather than python.org, VPython is used in physics courses at a number of universities, and they teach their classes (to people not necessarily programmers) using IDLE to interact with and program their physics demos (3-D images that you can mouse around to change your point of view). --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I have to use this version of MacPython. As far as I searched, I can't find how I do this. It is indeed a bug that the options menu doesn't show. What I did was to manually edit the file: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/ idlelib/config-main.def to include the lines: font= monaco font-size= 13 font-bold= 0 (can't remember what the default was). bb -- Brian Blais bbl...@bryant.edu http://web.bryant.edu/~bblais -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

MacPython 2.5 IDLE font size

Re: MacPython 2.5 IDLE font size
There is a option menu in idle but you may not be able to see it. Try launching idle via terminal. For me it was located /Library/Frameworks/Python/Versions/Current/bin/idle2.5 When I did this I had the option menu, I guess this is a known bug. I assume there is a font option once you get the menu.
