The Mac version of the wxWindows C++ library has nearly caught up with the
MSW and GTK versions and is stable and robust.  What remains is to put the
Python wrappers on top of that.  Given that I don't have access to Mac
hardware that effort has been going a bit slowly, (okay, it hasn't moved at
all.)

Over the past couple days there has been some activity though.  Chris Barker
<cbarker at jps.net> has been drumming up some enthusiasm for doing the work and
trying to get some developers together to work on it.  You maight want to
drop him a line (or ask on the wxPython-users list,) and see if there is some
way that you can help out.
