[Israel Evans]

I'd just like to say that I love IDLE.  It's the only thing I do Python in.
It's also the First tool that has made me comfortable with an interactive
interpreter.  Emacs just frightens me! Vim is Spooky! IDLE is just right!

Actually, IDLE on a Mac doesn't really work, because Tcl on a Mac
doesn't really work.

But MacPython comes with its own IDE, built by Just van Rossum (my
brother) using the native Mac toolbox.
