I was wondering about this myself. IDLE colors Python commands and offers help with commands while typing. It seems to be an excellent learning environment. I don't think I will use it when writing actual applications, but for right now, it seems to make more sense than Python from the Terminal application or any of the editors people have mentioned. I do appreciate everyone's suggestions of alternatives. For right now, though, IDLE is working for me again and I'm happily testing various commands and testing out answers to the end of section questions in Learning Python. -Rodney -- Rodney Somerstein Always remember that you are unique...
