"Windows" menu doesn't automatically appear on OSX

[Joel Burton]

Several tutorials say that, on OSX, a "Windows" menu will appear with default choices filled in (and there are earlier messages on this board from 2009 asking about how to hide this menu from automatically appearing).

However, for me, on OSX Lion / wxPython Cocoa, this menu doesn't appear at all--even when I use a sample application, like the MacApp.py found at http://wiki.wxpython.org/Optimizing%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X . Has this behavior intentionally changed? Is there any way to make it appear?

Thanks!

I'm not sure. Please ask about this on the wx-users list.

I'm on Lion with wx carbon and I've always seen it. I don't know how familiar you are with macs/OSX but the menu for applications appears along the top of the screen on the main monitor.

Even with no menu set up I get a "Python" menu option in the menu with Services, Hide Python, Hide Others, Show All and Quit

It's the Cocoa build where the Window menu is not showing up. I don't
know if that was intentional or not though, I may have missed some
discussion about it.

FYI: It's the 2.9 builds where it doesn't appear. I also don't get it in the Carbon 2.9 buid, but with 2.8 (which appears to only have a Carbon build), it appears.
