The problem is snow leopard and 64 bit half of the stuff like wx widgets is
32 bit which means you have to use python 2.5 to access it while its set up
to use the 64 bit versions of the language. The same problem happens with
eclipse on Snow leopard. The 64 bit stuff is the problem and would take
someone hacking at it a while to get eclipse working.

Actually, I've been able to successfully use Eclipse on Leopard
(haven't tried yet on Snow Leopard). A lot of focus management seems
less than desirable such as moving back to the package manager, but
all of the standard widgets you'd expect are seen through the VO
cursor. Some of the navigation can become tedious which simply is a
factor of VO and not so much of Eclipse.
Some parts of the IDE which are actually superior than others includes
the integrated documentation which pops up an html content area (very
slick with VO's interaction model), all dialogs/menus (handy for using
Eclipse's formatting/styling features).
