I haven't gotten around to debugging this (2.5c2 will be released  
very soon and pax is hating me right now), but IDLE in MacPython 2.4  
doesn't work for me after all. I'm seeing the same behaviour as you:  
IDLE starts, but hangs immediately (I have a shell window with a Tk  
console on top, the beachball keeps spinning forever).

IDLE in MacPython 2.5c2 (to be released RSN) does work correctly.
