Good to know there is a good solution for Windows. Is there an equivalent solution for Mac OS-X??

My question:
Is wxPython the reight choice for the project? Is it possible to create
an install package that contains only the required dependencies (Python
interpreter + required Python modules and libraries + wxPython modules +
wxWindows libraries) so the user will not have to install Python? What do
you think the size of this 'minimal' package would be?
I have developed several apps for limited deployment at my workplace (QA
tools, that sort of thing) using wxPython along with py2EXE and Inno Setup
Compiler with success. The installer package is deployed as a single EXE
over our network from a shared file system, and they install it on thier
workstations like any other Win program (Inno even creates a nice
uninstaller).
The client app should support different Windows versions,
(95/98/NT/2000/XP). Are there any wxPython (wxWindows) specific gotchas
regarding different Windows versions that one should be aware of before
embarking on the mission?
W95/98/ME have a few gotchas but they are not insurmountable as long as you
don't get 'cute' and also remember that 2K/XP stores user-specific
information differently than the others. You'll need to do a bit of
experimentation here, but in my experience, straightforward GUI apps are
pretty portable across everything from 95 on up.
The big gotcha here is the network support, which wxPython doesn't support
natively, so you will have to navigate the tangled web of Python socket
libraries to find out what works and what doesn't (simple is good here).
