The IDE doesn't get installed until you run ConfigurePythonCarbon. So,
after the second install (where the automatic execution of
ConfigurePythonCarbon again failed, I assume) you should again run
ConfigurePythonCarbon.

If this fails again I would be very interested in seeing your Apple
System Profiler output. The other thing I would like to know is
whether you have a multiprocessor. There's one other person who has
the problem that ConfigurePythonCarbon always fails, and my current
guess is that the Python I/O library somehow breaks on an OSX
multiprocessor. Oh yes, I would also like an "ls -l
/Library/CFMSupport" output from a terminal window.
