[Pythonmac-SIG] cross platform GUI?

Your cynicism about cross-platform GUIs is not unwarranted, but I 
don't think it's correct in the case of wxWindows. From my 
(admittedly preliminary) explorations with it, the look-and-feel is 
pretty good. A lot of this is due to the wxWindows guys eschewing set 
dimensions and using "sizers" which adjust their size appropriately 
for the given platform.

The bigger problem with wxMac (and I don't mean to belittle the 
efforts of developers) is that there are corners of wxWindows that 
just don't work properly for Mac yet, and the only way to find this 
out is to attempt to use them. There are a few significant wxMac 
applications floating around so people have obviously been able to 
work around these shortcomings.

So roll on, wxPython!
