Yes, it is easy, sort-of. I have installed many, many packages so far. My 
point is that with a polished IDE, you don't have to go through all of this. 
You download an installer, run it, start up the IDE and start writing code. 
There are many such RAD tools. I would like such a thing for Python. I've 
spent several days installing package after package, everything from Eclipse 
to py2app, and I still don't have a good development environment. It seems 
that one must be a Python expert before he can write his first simple 
hello-world app.

My goal was to test out Python by writing a simple GUI app and then deploying 
it to Mac OS X and Windows XP. Using a product such as RealBasic, a totally 
green newbie could accomplish this in a few minutes.. So, I guess my main 
question is, is there such a RAD tool for Python?

Thanks,
Matt
