If that's what you really want to do then start XCode, select New Project and look for the ones with "Python" in their names. I was excited to hear that Python was going to be automatically integrated into XCode in OS 10.5. I tried it once. I should say I really didn't give it a fair trial - the impression I got from my unfair trial was I'd have to learn a lot about Cocoa to do anything useful. Searched a little, decided to try wxPython next, and I was very happy with that. Seems much easier - also as far as I could see there was nothing but a 'Hello World' example included in XCode, while wxPython comes with a truly amazing suite of complete examples (the C++ wxWidgets book recommends looking at wxPython for the examples!) >Some googling suggests that a number of people > have had trouble getting Python to run satisfactorily on their Macs. > This is my first Mac, and I'd appreciate some guidance on what to do > (and what not to) when installing Python and potential problems to > keep an eye open for.
