I haven't used BuildIDE.py, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is 
OS9-only. From the current CVS I use the following to build the IDE (but 
this is a fast-moving target, so what was needed at the time the 
wxpython framework distribution was created I don't remember anymore, 
and may well be different):
	pythonw Mac/scripts/BuildApplet.py --output 
/Applications/PythonIDE.app --noargv Mac/Tools/IDE/PythonIDE.py

I think you really need pythonw even though BuildApplet doesn't have a 
GUI when run from the commandline, because pythonw knows where the 
applet template is.
