If I understand your question correctly you are looking for an Integrated Development Environment for Python that works on your Mac.
There is an entry for this on the Python.Org wiki :
https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments
It is a bit old but should point you in the right direction.
On my Macs I use PyCharm or occasionally BBEdit. The free version of BBEdit, TextWrangler, is also pretty good.
It is possible to use python with Xcode and Eclipse as well but it requires a bit of setup to do that.
[edit: be aware that BBEdit and Textwrangler are text editors that recognise Python but don't run Python. You will need to run the Python files from a console (Terminal)]
