Download this free program called TextWrangler:

Once you've done that you can copy and paste your current work into
the work space. Just as we did in class you save it like this
"FileName.py".
To run the program is similar, but a little different, you need to
open up terminal by going to applications/utilities/terminal. Once
terminal is open, instead of typing in python "FileName.py" you need
to type the path to your file. For example, my python script is in
the documents folder. So I need to type "python ~/Documents/
FileName.py"
If you do not know how to figure out the path of your file, but you
know where you saved your file, you should open up terminal and type
"python ". Once you've done that just drag your file into terminal and
it will generate the path for you, and then press return.
I hope this helps any one that wants to do their homework on their
personal computer instead of going over to the lab and logging onto
Fedora.
P.S. Your Mac comes preloaded with Python, so you do not need to
download it unless you want the latest version.
