Nice article, but it has an inaccuracy:

"The first thing we need to do is download wxPython so we can begin 
creating applications."

This is not entirely correct. The stock 10.4 that came in a G5 bought in 
June has wx built-in:

  cabin % /usr/bin/python
  Python 2.3.5 (#1, Oct  5 2005, 11:07:27)
  [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import wx
  >>>

Of course the stock python is 2.3, but its very cool that one can depend 
on wx being present on 10.4+ machines. So there is no need to bundle 
python/wx with your app when developing for Macs. (Yes, I noticed the 
author is running OS X 10.3.)
