When I try to start IDLE from a current CVS build it says in the console

> /Applications/MacPython-2.3/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/python: can't open  
> file '/Applications/MacPython-2.3/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idle'

Turns out  idle sits in Resources/idlelib, not in Resources itself.  
Anyone else see this ?

Other applets also do not work, although PackageManager and PythonIDE  
can be
fixed (courtesy of Jack Jansen) with

sudo chmod 775  
/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PackageManager.app/Contents/Resources/
sudo chmod 775  
/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PythonIDE.app/Contents/Resources/

BuildApplet only writes its usage instructions to the console and then  
exits. Both IDLE
and BuildApplet have generic application icons.

PythonLauncher works fine (but that's not an applet but a Cocoa  
application)
