[Pythonmac-SIG] Macintosh Native Python Install

Hello All,

Using the Mac Leopard NATIVE installation of the Python 2.5  
interpreter, called out of the Terminal UNIX command line (i.e. NOT  
through the X-code machinery), is it possible to pipe or pass in a  
text file containing Python code?  Or is this literally a type-as-you- 
go-only interpreter?

Alternative 1:  Is there a SIMPLE was to use the X-code framework to  
create a command-line type program, without all the GUI machinery?

Alternative 2:  If Python.org distributions are the best way to go,  
any recommendations on 2.5 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.x?  I saw somewhere on the  
website that 2.6 was crashing on Macs.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Richard
