Could you please help get an answer to the following question.

 

the wxpython.org page lists at http://wxpython.org/download.php#unstable

 

 

wxPython2.9-osx-carbon-py2.6
wxPython2.9-osx-carbon-py2.7
wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7

 

These supposedly are native builds.

 

I know that we needed (and may still need) MacPorts for other GNUmed dependencies.

py27-wxpython 2.8.12.1Python interface to the wxWindows cross platform GUI

Maintained by: jwa

Categories: python graphics

Platforms: darwin

Dependencies: python27 wxWidgets

 

py27-wxpython-devel 2.9.3.1Python interface to the wxWindows cross platform GUI

Maintained by: jwa

Categories: python graphics

Platforms: darwin

Dependencies: wxWidgets-devel

 

Looks like there is no Carbon or Cocoa variant. The only one seems this

 

py26-wxpython 2.8.10.1Python interface to the wxWindows cross platform GUI

Maintained by: jameskyle

Categories: python graphics

Platforms: darwin

Dependencies: python26 wxWidgets-python

Variants: carbon gtk universal

 

I guess the maintainer needs to be contacted to update the build to include a carbon or cocoa variant. The original binaries (see above) seem to indicate that it is possible to provide them.

 

Once we have that working on a development machine (ideally 10.5) it should be possible to package as dmg and hand it to users.
