PythonIDE never came with the OS. You have to install it yourself.

That's weird because it was on my iBook disk as a .pkg file when I got it???

Thanks for the link.

OK, just installed it but it crashes under Tiger.

You can use Spotlight to find the file idle.pyw and use that as an
IDE...

Not surprising. PythonIDE is very old and unmaintained relying on an
older and even more unmaintained GUI toolkit. You should probably find
another editor.

You could learn to use vim or emacs, both of which come with Tiger. They
also have somewhat more Aqua-friendly GUI versions lurking around. I'm
partial to vim, myself.

PyOXIDE might be a good choice for you.

I'm told Xcode does a tolerable job with Python.

There are other IDEs floating around. Searching the PythonMac-SIG
mailing list archives should show you past discussions about them and
how well they work on OS X.

TextWrangler or BBEdit (it's bigger brother) can be used, too. Both are
nice GUI editors.

I just took a look at Xcode and it's not obvious how to run a script. I
suspect I need a project? Then run? The docs say nothing that I can
find.

Thanks.
