Update way a subprocess is launched for Mac OS X.
Another applet mechanism has been developed for Python on Mac OS X and
trying to use the -c "__import__('run').main()" trick is just not working.
macosx_main.py is a new file which should be used as the startup file for
Mac OS X applet bundles. This startup file understands a -p option, which
when seen will start run.main(). When running as an applet, this seems like
the best approach.

+Installation:

+
+Usage:
+
+1. Double clicking IDLE icon will open IDLE.
+2. Dropping file on IDLE icon will open that file in IDLE.
+3. Launch from command line with files with this command-line:
