[Pythonmac-SIG] EasyDialog? Not quite what I need..

Hi Benjamin,

Have you considered going the wxPython route? It's interesting in that 
there is no free, cross-platform ZIP/UNZIP software, and I've always 
thought that Python/wxPython would be the perfect combo for one. (At 
our work we distribute free software to people in developing countries, 
so having this would be very nice. ;-) Just a thought!

I'm sure someone else will also offer PyObjC as a solution to this 
problem as well. ^_^

Thanks,

Kevin
