If you're willing to build from CVS (or if you're willing to 
wait for 2.3) then the MacPython IDE will work fine with a 
standard unix-Python, as long as you do a framework build. The 
main readme file (Mac OS X section) and the readme in Mac/OSX 
should have all the relevant details (i.e. you would help me a 
lot if you tried this and reported if there were bits of 
information missing, unclear, etc).

And, as to IDLE, you should probably submit a bug report to 
Sourceforge. This is the first I've heard about IDLE not working 
with AquaTk (but then, I never use it so I'm not tracking it 
very closely).
