It does and it is getting better (IIRC the wxMac port is a bit behind the
wxGTK and wxMFC ports)

Quoted from http://www.wxwindows.org/faqgen.htm

"""
What platforms are supported by wxWindows 2?

    Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98, Windows NT;
    Linux and other Unix platforms with GTK+;
    Unix with Motif or the free Motif clone Lesstif;
    Mac OS; A Mac OS X port is in progress.
    A BeOS port is being investigated.
    A Windows CE port is being investigated.
    An OS/2 port is in progress, and you can also compile wxWindows
        for GTK+ or Motif on OS/2.

My favorites are either PyGTK or wxPython -- I haven't decided yet.
PyGTK/GTK+ is lighter weight than wxPython/wxWindows (especially
wxGTK) because wxWindows is a wrapper around the native API to provide
the wxWindows API (and in the case of wxGTK it is a wrapper around
GTK).  GTK+ widgets are all self-drawing using the GDK (a low-level
API to abstract the general drawing constructs,  the GDK is a wrapper
around the bottom of the native API such as xlib or MSWindows).
