About

This is a binary package of wxPython for MacPython on Mac OS X 10.2 or later. The wxMac binaries will be installed as well. MacPython-OSX, however, is not included with this package, but is also required to run wxPython. Before you continue you should have already installed the MacPython-OSX framework.

Please note that the Mac OS ports of wxPython as well as wxWindows (a.k.a. wxMac) are works-in-progress. Report bugs via SourceForge [1] or discuss the problem on the mailing list(s) related to your questions (see below).

What will be installed and where

wxMac goes into/usr/local and wxPython will be installed into the appropriate subfolder of the Python framework. Choose theShow files command from theFile menu for a complete file listing. (The menu item becomes available as soon as the license agreement is accepted in the next step.)

Getting started with wxPython

You can verify that wxPython was succesfully installed by running the demo. It resides on the same disk image where you found this package.  Just double click the script nameddemo.py or drag and drop it onto the Python interpreter in yourApplication folder.
