SPE has been making more of a Mac push since I stopped maintaining Mac packages so it may have improved.
Komodo is a good IDE and is currently in beta testing on OS X: see www.activestate.com for the particulars. It's more polished than any of the open-source tools (though it should be for the $300 that the pro version costs), and runs natively (as an Aqua app). Komodo is not Python-only, but if you are developing commercially it is a very good tool to consider. WingIDE is also very powerful, but runs only as an X11 app on the Mac. That may or may not be a problem for you. I've ultimately settled on a primitive set of tools myself, Emacs or IDLE, plus the console. Fewer bells and whistles, but they are stable, and don't get in my way. - -- Cheers, Kevin Walzer, PhD WordTech Software - "Tame the Terminal" http://www.wordtech-software.com sw at wordtech-software.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDXAIlJmdQs+6YVcoRAqsKAJ0YX14aGH5pUpujXb+wmYoWbGUkWQCfX0oK 6kiXX9w+rAIbo5qCYGUWIuc= =YSju -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
