I have the option of using a Mac or Ubuntu environment and I'd like to hear any thoughts on the pros and cons of each. Specifically, how's the support for numpy and scipy?  How are the IDEs?

In addition to the other excellent answers you've received, I'd point you to

	http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81584/what-ide-to-use-for-python

where there is a fairly extensive comparison chart of IDEs, features, and supported OSes.

And, by the way, I'm a very happy camper using BBEdit and WingIDE (the name collision is purely coincidental).

Thanks,
Bill
