Yeah, Ports for the Mac - Mac Ports is the way to go. As far as Python or any
other programming language editor goes, have you folks tried out SlickEdit?
60-70 programming languages supported. It may take you more then 15 minutes to
learn how to use it though. I've been using Slick since the 80s and haven't
yet found anything better yet. I'm pretty certain it runs well on whatever
version of Windows. Linux, Unix, OSX and probably any other OS you are on.
Very much not free but certainly worth the money. I for one do not mind paying
for a tool I use every day.
