Download Idle Python Mac Download

No help from me, just a plea for an answer. I will be teaching a college-level Python class and I need to keep it platform agnostic, which means using IDLE. I've done quite a bit of searching on python.org, MacPython, and the web, and have yet to find any way to install IDLE on Leopard, without using the same MacPython distribution 'mars rvr' is worried about using. As mars notes, that installer will not let you deselect its Python.framework, and it also by default installs something it calls (something like) 'fix for system python'. That can't be a good idea when it was clearly designed for Tiger.
I hope someone at Apple who is responsible for getting Python 2.5.1 into Leopard (thank you!) will know how to get IDLE installed safely on Leopard. (And I'd humbly request it be a standard part of the system going forward, added via a Software Update as soon as possible.)

This is how you launch IDLE for Anaconda Python: Open up a Terminal. Type in idle3 &, followed by ENTER. Import module works in Terminal but not in IDLE. When using python in IDLE on Mac, each python installation has it’s own /lib/site-packages for 3rd party modules. Depending on your installation method (using the regular pip install package-name) terminal won’t allow you to import them when using IDLE.
