There was a build of wxPython last week for MacOS Carbon that is currently
in better working order than the OS X track that I have been working
(blindly, stumbling) on.  You can see some info about it here:

How about "real sooner now"? <wink>

One thing you can do is to join the wxPython-Mac mail list and urge people
to move forward, test their alpha builds, provide other feedback, etc.
There is only one Mac expert doing anything to help out so far and he is a
Python newbie...  (for me it is definitly a case of "old dog, new tricks"
problems but I am starting to grasp the new environment finally)  So any
additional Mac people can certainly help things out.
