You can run the interpreter in a Terminal on OS X by giving the

Huh? It's a full Python 2.5* intallation. I don't see what you'd gain
by installing another copy from python.org, especially since it sets
you up for confusion (like, which one you get when you run 'python'
depends on how the path is set up — I've been burned by that problem
before in Ruby.)
Most GUI programming with Python is done with tkInter, but there is a
way to do some kind of Cocoa programming with it - I understand that
the official BitTorrent client for the Mac was built that way.
Python is a great first language to learn, but I would wait a while to
get into GUI programming, since the frameworks you have to master are
rather large. Learning the language itself and general programming
skills is enough to keep anyone busy a while.
