Our recommendation

On Mac OS, we suggest the Komodo Edit text editor.

To install it:

  • Go to http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit/downloads
  • Click on Mac Disk Image (DMG), and wait for it to download.
  • Open the new Komodo Edit virtual drive in Finder, and locate the Komodo Edit program.
  • Copy it to Applications: drag the icon and drop it onto Applications in Finder's left-hand navigation column.

To run it:

  • Open it like you would any other Mac program: From the programs list in the Applications folder.

Success!

Now you have an editor that you can use to open any text file, including Python programs.

If you have different editor for text, check with an instructor before moving on to make sure it will work for the weekend.
