Hi folks,
I'm trying to port my wxPython GIS application to the Mac. It currently runs on Linux and Windows fine. The wxPython part works fine on the Mac too, but I need to get a Mac version of PostgreSQL and psycopg2 for the back end. I noticed that MacPorts has all the pieces, including Python and wxPython, but am unsure if this is the best route to follow since the Mac releases on the wxPython home page recommend MacPython. Any advice?
I haven't tried the MacPorts version, but last I checked with Fink the build of Python that they provide is not the "framework" version, which is required for the app to be able to interact with the display and for the native Carbon and Cocoa widgets to be used. If that is also the case for MacPorts, then I suspect that the wxPython they provide is using the gtk port and so apps using it would be X-Windows apps, not native Mac apps. So unless you are the only one using the app I would strongly suggest that you use a Framework build so you can have native apps.
