Or maybe wxPython!!!

It seems that there is a need for a nice Application Framework for the
Mac. It would probably be no more work to get wxPython working on the
Mac than it would be to build a whole framework, and you'd get a cross
platform solution to boot!!

There are a few fols on the wxPython mailing list that are starting to
work on it, but it appears no one yet with much Mac programming
experience. Any of you want to volunteer to help??

See the wxPython Mailing lists for more info.

or: http://www.wxpython.org/
