By "never had a problem" do you mean using some of the latest versions ? Here, running "idle" from a mac terminal and trying to type: print "hi" crashes when entering the quotation mark.

Huh? Works fine for me. Python 2.6.1, OSX 10.6.3, intel.

From the lurking crowd-- Please don't consider removing IDLE until there is a compelling replacement ready. It's better to have a limited IDE that works everywhere (even if in a limited fashion-- people are free to try out one of the many excellent full-featured Python IDE's out there after they advance to that point) then not.
