This post refers only to Mac OS X, which has a BSD kernel and so is
a different beast than the "Classic" Mac OS (OS 9 and earlier). It
is presumably harder to get wxPython to work with the current
Classic OS.
Those of us using Python under Mac OS 9 have heard "real soon now"
about wxPython for *so long* that hearing it again makes us feel
worse rather than better. If I knew anything about GUI development
in C on the Mac I'd dive in and help, truly (I've been helping with
other Mac Python issues). But it's because I *don't* know anything
about it that I want to use a Python framework. Tkinter is clunky
in operation and appearance, and wxPython does not appear to be
imminent. It's a bummer!
Let us know if you learn more about Qt in this regard.
