Not surprising. PythonIDE is very old and unmaintained relying on an 
older and even more unmaintained GUI toolkit. You should probably find 
another editor.

You could learn to use vim or emacs, both of which come with Tiger. They 
also have somewhat more Aqua-friendly GUI versions lurking around. I'm 
partial to vim, myself.

PyOXIDE might be a good choice for you.

I'm told Xcode does a tolerable job with Python.

There are other IDEs floating around. Searching the PythonMac-SIG 
mailing list archives should show you past discussions about them and 
how well they work on OS X.
