I pulled the binary off of wxPython "MacPython-OSX-2.3a2-2" and 
installed it, but when I go to run the PythonIDE, it quits and I get the 
following in my console log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File

    import PythonIDEMain

  File

EMain.py", line 142, in makeusermenus
    os.mkdir(path)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Scripts'

So my question is, why is it trying to access/create a "/Scripts" folder 
while creating the menus? This shouldn't be happening should it?
