Re: [gtk+osx] About GTK-OSX Status

[Arthur W. <ar...@gm...>]

Hey Bob, I was more into porting current applications using GTK to OS
X. Unless there were some really good advantages, I wouldn't write a
new app using GTK or pyGTK unless there were some big advantages. But
it's easier to port GTK to OS X than port each individual GTK app to a
different toolkit.

And I have tried PyObjC but use wxPython instead because it's cross
platform while PyObjC is OS X only.
