Greetings.

I want to run IDLE on my iBook running Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther).

Per the instructions on "Python on the Macintosh" [1], I downloaded
and installed TclTkAqua [2], then downloaded and installed Universal-
MacPython-2.4.3 [3].

Python launches in Terminal. The version shown is 2.4.3.

When I launch IDLE (Applications/MacPython 2.4), a Console window and
a *Python Shell* window open, and then I get the spinning beach ball.
I have to Force Quit.

Did I miss anything? How do I get this to work?

Thanks,
Jeff

That an app beach balls don't mean it's hung or crashed, but only that it does something
time consuming on the main thread (the one that handles UI)
