Thought I'd mention.  There are a few sorts of options, if you are 
looking at the concept of fiddling with things:

    - http://pythonmac.org/wiki/XcodeIntegration
      Folks are working on integrating OS X 10.3's nifty XCode tool with 
Python.

    - http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html
       This binary download of Python includes a Carbonized version of 
Tkinter and IDLE.  No tweaking needed, but it's noticeably slow.

I'm sure there are more options, but those popped right into my head.  
If you're feeling less bold, I'd go for the Carbonized MacPython.

Kind Regards,
