Huh? Works fine for me. Python 2.6.1, OSX 10.6.3, intel.

>From the lurking crowd-- Please don't consider removing IDLE until there is
a compelling replacement ready. It's better to have a limited IDE that works
everywhere (even if in a limited fashion-- people are free to try out one of
the many excellent full-featured Python IDE's out there after they advance
to that point) then not.
