[Tutor] osx python editor

[Kim Branson]

Hi all,

i'm making the transition from perl to python, i'm trying to  convert a 
lot of tools into python so they can be maintained a little better.  
I'm looking at doing alot of my work under osx  rather than linux. I've 
grabbed the macpython release. its got a ide in but it seems to lack 
colour syntax highlighting, this is i find very useful. Either i'm dumb 
and its not turned on by default (and i can't see a pref to do it), or 
there is a better  tool out there. What ide are there for osx? and are 
there any gotchas for developing  on osx and then running production on 
a linux system....should be all the same right?

oh one more thing....is there a python lisp interface....i've got alot 
of horrid lisp code i might need to call, or should i rewrite the lot 
in python. Python can do most lisp things i've been told, but not 
macros?

cheers

Kim
