[Pythonmac-SIG] RE: [wxPython-mac] Status of wxPython on OS-9 ?

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi 

wxMac is already fully carbonized there's nothing more to do there, I've
once in spring compiled the extensions for Python on classic mac os /
carbon, and basically it was running although there were quite a few
bugs ;-) I am not sure how much interest on the classic side remains,
since till then nobody asked for it once we had it running under OSX.
But if there is still interest I'll dig out my notes and attempt a
rebuild...
