How did you install/build Python? On the Mac, you really aren't supposed 
to start it from the terminal unless you are running it under X11 or are 
using a non-framework build. If you built it the standard Mac way, or if 
you use the binary installer from python.org, Idle is installed in 
/Applications/MacPython 2.5. Look there, and you should be able to drag 
the Idle icon to the dock.
