Mac OSX Python IDLE installation easy way

When we use Python on Mac OSX, we are confusing on Python environment with different version.
How can we develop each version Python on Mac without complex environment set up?
Using IDLE is a simple way and graphic user interface IDE.
First, we need to install tcl/tk GUI tookit to combine back-end python to front-end IDLE.
We can download ActiveTcl 8.5.11 (10.5+ x86_64/x86) and install via DMG file.
http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads

Second, after we installed AvtiveTcl 8.5.11, we can choose Python version DMG file to install.
Python 2.7.2 (10.6 10.7 x86_64/x86)
Python 3.2.2 (10.6 10.7 x86_64/x86)

Then we can see Python X.X directory in our Applications directory.

Open the Python X.X directory and click IDLE, we can open a IDLE window with Python version.

Now we can write code on IDLE with different Python version by easy way.

Synergy KVM software control on MAC OSX & UNIX by MacBook Air to Mac Mini Server

download & convert file => Synergy Download

you will find synergy-x.x.x-MacOSX-Universal folder

Server (MacBook Air keyboard & touchpad)

open and cp doc/synergy.conf.sample synergy.conf

vi the conf file like this


section: screens
        foo.local:
        bar.local:
end


section: links
        foo.local:
                right = bar.local


        bar.local:
                left  = foo.local
end

execute the synergy server by configure and listen client connection

#sudo ./synergys -f --config synergy.conf




Client (Mac Mini Server + screen)


#./synergyc -f "HostName or IP"




The result is that can use Air's keyboard and touchpad to remote control the 


Mini Server screen and key-in.


And I have more efficiencies to do my job by the one keyboard and touchpad with two Macs.
