I'm not interested in doing anything more with tk than the
slightly-more-than-hello-world toys I've done.  They were strange enough.

At work, we use Python in a command line and text sort of environment (we
don't run X eXcept on the physical console to deal with tools which are
X-ish, and we don't do Windows on the servers).  So I don't have much
compulsion to help push wxPython on Mac (or Linux, or Windows).

All that said:  I hope many someones do.
