No comment as to the general Mac issues - I am ignorant of Mac.

But it should be no surprise from earlier comments I have made, that I think
it is a mistake to tie the fate of VPython on Mac or on any other platform
to IDLE.  IDLE, on any platform, is just one of many alternatives for
working with VPython scripts.  Except as to the Python specific debugging
features and the like that you have acknowledged are not utilized by either
yourself and your students, IDLE is a generic programmers text editor.
Period.  The alternatives to IDLE are myriad. I have to assume, on Mac as
well as any other platform. I am confused by your position on this.
