This gets a bit tricky with Python GUIs.  I haven't checked, but I  
suppose that PyObjC is still 32-bit only.

I know that Tk and Qt are 32-bit only at the moment.

That is, the Tk that ships from Apple with Leopard is 32-bit.  Qt has  
to be 32-bit for the next year or two since Apple dropped 64-bit  
Carbon (they need to port the Mac GUI to Cocoa, and that will Take  
Some Work).
