You can link with the private readline.framework or (what I did) just
compile readline from Fink and use that.
The idlefork (www.sourceforge.net/projects/idlefork) version of IDLE
works fine under a framework build of Python 2.2.2, barring a couple
of cosmetic issues. Apply the attached patch to the latest CVS
version of idlefork (fixes it to use pythonw and move the line/column
numbers over to make room for the size box) and you should be all set.
The changes aren't at all cleanly done but they work for me.
After I downloaded WASTE and stuck it in the right place (a directory
named 'waste' at the same level as the Python source directory) before
building, the Python IDE even works from within the framework. Is
there any documentation on building app wrappers? It's a bit confusing
to have both IDLE and the Python IDE show up in the dock as
"PythonInterpreter".
