Hi there!

Just wanted to let people know in this group that I have recently
(April 24th) published an introductory article on wxPython and Mac OS
X. It is available here: http://www.macdevcenter.com/

Hope someone finds it useful.

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.
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.)

Oh yes, a mactel (Quad Xeon) bought in January?

platinum 1% /usr/bin/python

Hell yeah, baby!
