python on mac os 10.4.x

[7stud]

Hi,

Python 2.3.5 comes pre-installed on mac os 10.4.7, and I've looked
around in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ and under .../
Versions/2.3/bin/, there is an exec file named 'idle'.  I assume that
is the Python IDLE I've read about, but I can't figure out what I need
to do to use IDLE to edit a file.  Any help would be appreciated.

I know it's recommended to install the latest version of python, which
would then come with the IDLE, but I want to learn wxPython as well,
and from what I understand you need a "framework" build of python on a
Mac to use wxPython.  And I don't have any idea how to install a
python framework build

Thanks.
