[Pythonmac-SIG] Use py2app: GTK+-based application/addinggenerated files/X11

[Ronald Oussoren]

There's also gtk-osx (http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/), which is a native port of GTK+. IIRC there's also another port, but the name and homepage escape me at the moment. If have no idea how well these work, but if they do work you'd get something that looks a lot more like a "real" osx application.
