Good for you! ... and even better for your students. IDLE is
fabulous as a native python interactive development environment these
days. It really works well, is clean and does what it advertises; its
very nice!

Absolutely. The ONLY problem you might run into on the (macs) apple
systems is that tcl/tk tkinter might be at the wrong level. Use ActiveTCL:

Depending on the apple system the wrong (built-in tcl/tk tkinter)
will cause problems. If you ActiveTCL you'll have no problem. Just point
your students at the appropriate pages.
