I did it on a two processor Mac G4 and it works. But it seems that the Python
Interpreter is very slow at startup and either I'm to impatient at the moment
(it's nearly midnight here in Europe) or the tests hangs by test_longexp.

But both the IDE and the Interpreter works and some little testscripts worked,
too.
