I recently set up my machine to do some Python programming, and ran in a couple of issues. Minor, but annoying. Here is how I worked it out. This is for Mac Intel, OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard).
- Updated Python to 2.6 ( I had 2.5)
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/python-2.6.4_macosx10.3.dmg - Downloaded Eclipse from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-macosx-cocoa.tar.gz - Used this video tutorial to set up eclipse. FIRST CAVEAT: The path to pydev mentioned in the videois outdated. The repository now is at: http://pydev.org/updates
- Got additional libraries:
- Numpy
SECOND CAVEAT: There is an issue with numpy 1.4 and python 2.6 (also 2.5 for some), so I installed numpy 1.3:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.3.0/numpy-1.3.0-py2.6-macosx10.5.dmg/download - Scipy
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.7.1/scipy-0.7.1-py2.6-python.org.dmg/download - Matplotlib
http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.99.1/matplotlib-0.99.1.1-py2.6-macosx10.5.dmg/download
- Numpy
This seems to work ok so far..

Can I download these files?
You can. I am not sure why you are having problems downloading(?)
