SPE, 32 bit wxPython, Python on Mac

Jumped a couple of hoops to install SPE my favourite python IDE in Mac,
Python 2.7 ships with Lion (yeah!)

I need to install wxPython but only 32 bit is avail due to Carbon API ( boo )

the nice thing is that you can set an env to make it work
so my bash script for starting SPE is

#installed 32 bit version of wxPython
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
python _spe/SPE.py

It works! 

SPE v0.8.4.i (c)2003-2008 www.stani.be
If spe fails to start:
 - type "pythonw SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" at the command prompt
   (or if you use tcsh: "pythonw SPE.py --debug >& debug.txt")
 - send debug.txt with some info to spe.stani.be[at]gmail.com

RStudio IDE for R ... looks promising!

RStudio, released yesterday, is a new open-source IDE for R. It’s getting a lot of attention at R-bloggers and it’s easy to see why: this is open-source software development done right.
