For the sole purpose of providing an easy way to run existing wxPerl and
wxPython code (and possibly "pure" wxWidgets code as well). As a
*porting* aid if you will, as hinted in the "Using Traditional UNIX
Graphical Environments" of the "Porting UNIX/Linux Applications to Mac
OS X" document, here:

What's that ? Homework ? Oh well, here you go:

import os
import subprocess

def findLinkedWithWX(folder):
  for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder):
    for d in list(dirs):
      if d.endswith('.app'):
        dirs.remove(d)
        exename, _ = os.path.splitext(d)
        exe = '%s/%s/Contents/MacOS/%s' % (root, d, exename)
        popen = subprocess.Popen(['otool', '-L', exe], 
                                 stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
        libs = popen.communicate()[0]
        if 'libwx' in libs:
          print d

findLinkedWithWX('/Applications')
findLinkedWithWX('/Developer')
