I'm not very happy about that (and I don't know that anyone else is, either; Bob I. has described some of the problems with IDLE), but if it's the way it is it's the way it is. But here I am, a rank beginner, I look at the descriptions of wxPython and its rivals and decide I like wx -- can I install that, and begin building apps with it, from IDLE? We all seem to recognize the need for flexibility in preferences about IDEs (since there's no clear, free, Mac-native choice). But GUI libraries may be different. I feel it's important not to foreclose the wx possibility, and I'm still not clear about what that entails, though a recent post by Bob (which I can't find at the moment) partially addressed this.
