Just installed Python 2.5.4 on my Mac (running OS 10.5.8). It performs as expected, but there's no menu at the top of the window. The shell pictured in the PDF offers File|Edit|Shell|Debug|Options|Windows and, on the right, Help. Is there another version I should use? The course materials call for the one I downloaded.

Dont worry about what the course says, get python 2.7. It's  the one almost everyone uses and it works like a gem (>_<)

Thanks! I'm a dolt -- I downloaded 2.7, then realized that the menu is at the top of the screen, as with other Mac applications. But now I'm having a new issue -- after I've typed a line and returned, it won't allow me to go back and edit it. Any way to change that?

Since your typing directly into the shell, thats what happens. Instead. what you want to do is open a new file (yeah its under the file tab at the top). Type your code into this file then run it using f5 (or go to the run tab at the top). Don't worry, I was baffled by this at first too. (>o<) Good luck!

I was under the impression that Mac OS comes with python..
