You can edit a Python outputing grammar in ANTLRWorks, and features like
graphing your rules will still work, but the debugger does not work with
Python.
I think you are getting the version numbers between Antlr and AntlrWorks
confused.
To install AntlrWorks just download the jar file
http://www.antlr.org/download/antlrworks-1.2.3.jar, and you should be able
to double click it to run the app. (If you already have a java runtime
installed.)
Antlr is a parser/translator generator. You use it when you need to write
your own language (metalinguistic abstraction), parse a domain specific
language somebody else wrote, analyze source code, or parse a complicated
data format.
