[Pythonmac-SIG] RE: What is a good working environment?

[Lee Cullens]

I've been going through the listed components in more detail and wonder 
if anyone would venture a brief answer to the following.

Relative to Bob's pygame vs. wxPython considerations and for what is 
intended for the Mac OS X platform only,  how does PyObjC fit into the 
equation (functionally, mixing and difficulty wise)?

The "presentation" category of apps I mentioned earlier would be multi 
windowed with widgets as in navigating through web pages (but locally 
based) and include reinforcing games.  There is also a "gaming" app I 
want to develop that would allow novices to customize the content of 
various types of games and produce standalone high quality executables 
of their customized games.

I do plan on doing detailed approach feasibility tests, but would like 
to narrow down potential candidates before such.  I am learning fast 
(despite my age and because I'm no longer embarrassed by asking dumb 
questions), and many of you veterans will recognize the changing 
"playgrounds" syndrome :~)

Thank you,
Lee C
