I am one of those too, of course, but I do know a lot of Mac users who spend most of their time in applications like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, BBEdit, etc. and rarely venture towards the Terminal. Not quite the same audience, but at least some of them would be potential Python users by way of appscript or web development tools.Sure, that make perfect sense.But my point was simply that it seems hard to be a Mac user these dayswithout some basic use of the Terminal.That's not true at all.OK, I'm probably the wrong person to assess that. So it seems that a old Unix-style Python program which reads from stdin (or a file or a tty) and writes to stdout would be difficult to explain to someone who has never used a command line. And there's essentially no way to get Idle started without using a command line.
If you install py2app and then run the setup script below you'll end
up with IDLE-2.3.app in the dist directory. This application bundle
is 64KByte small and will start the IDLE GUI. Feel free to enhance
this with a nice icon.
# Begin of setup.py
import idlelib, os
import py2app
from distutils.core import setup
setup(
name="IDLE-2.3",
app=[os.path.join(os.path.dirname(idlelib.__file__),
'idle.py')],
options=(dict(
py2app=dict(argv_emulation=True)
)),
)
# End of setup.py
