Thank you very much for this overview!
I tried several IDEs about a month ago to find the suiting one
for my little projects and made partly the same, partly different

Several apps showed the same problem on my german Tiger:

Hi there,
I made the mistake to upgrade my home Mac to Tiger, and now I must wait for
updates of several apps... :-(
Anyway, I installed Py2.4, latest wx etc. and changed my PATH to execute Python
2.4 before the system's. That works so far.
But I've the same problem with every IDE that I tried

I very much like it on WinXP, and it works (and looks good) on OSX,
but some advanced widgets don't work.

Does anyone have experience with jEdit? (www.jedit.org)
It's an GPL'ed all purpose editor written in Java that claims
to also support Python.
I had no time to test it yet besides that it runs on MacOS X,
but it's extremely configurable and enhanceable (plugins, macros etc.).

Henning

but like what the shell command 'file' returns.
