[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: How to install packages?

[Bob Ippolito]

wxWindows plays nicely with Stackless, at least on Win32.  I've  
personally seen Christian demo it working ;)

As far as Stackless on OS X is concerned, if you can wait a while  
(short number of weeks, probably), then I will be putting out a nice  
framework build.  I'm (a) currently at PyCon and don't have time and  
(b) am waiting for the dust to settle from the sprint in Berlin last  
week.  That said, it does work fine if you want to compile it yourself,  
so long as you use a recent release (CVS HEAD is best, probably).
