Line 1:
=== Our recommendation ===
On Mac OS, we suggest the Smultron text editor. You'll have to first download it, then install it.
Line 22:
* Double-click Smultron to launch the editor.
=== If you run into trouble with Smultron ===
If you can't run the version of Smultron we recommend, try the older version [http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/smultron/smultron/3.1.2/Smultron-3.1.2.zip 3.1.2 of Smultron]. We've tested that it runs properly on Mac OS 10.4 on PowerPC and Intel.
=== Configure Smultron to indent with spaces ===
* Start up Smultron, and click Smultron -> Preferences. This will pop up a preferences window.
Line 35:
That's it! Now, you can hit tab to indent your code, and that indentation will actually be made of spaces. This change will help you use spaces consistently, so that Python doesn't get confused about whitespace.
=== Success! ===
Now you have an editor that you can use to open any text file, including Python programs.
