Article on wxPython ToolKit for Mac OS X

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.
>>> import wx
>>>
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
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Aug 12 2006, 00:08:11)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>>
Hell yeah, baby!
