Summary: Put IDE scripts in ~/Library

Initial Comment:
Just,
here's a patch that was part of a larger set and this one was unrelated to the rest(unfortunately I've forgotten who sent it). The patch moves the IDE scripts folder to ~/Library when running on OSX.

This is a good idea, because it allows people to have their own private set of IDE scripts, even if a sysadmin has installed Python. But: the patch as-is is probably not good enough, as there is no place for system-wide scripts anymore. (Scripts will also be shared between MacPython IDE and MachoPython IDE, which is also nice)

You may want to look at providing two scripts folders, one in the normal location (i.e. somewhere in the Python tree) and one in ~/Library.

Just,
shouldn't this be closed?

It was Tony Lownds. I'm all for the intentions of the patch, but I see it will 
fail on MacPython, which doesn't support os.environ["HOME"]. But I 
guess that statement could simply be replaced by the appropriate 
FindFolder() call.
