[Pythonmac-SIG] IDLE and MacPython 2.5

[Rodney Somerstein]

Thanks Chris and David for the suggestions. I'm already aware of 
other editors. But, as I mentioned, I'm currently learning Python and 
an environment that actually lets me execute python code without 
having to first create and save a file is superior for that purpose, 
in my opinion.

I already own BBEdit and have for many years. So, when I start 
actually writing real code, I will likely use that.
