[Pythonmac-SIG] Guages, Sliders, Graphs and py2app

[DavidW]

Hi Kenneth,
I can confirm Chris' pointers to wxPython (google for an excellent  
book on the topic)
and there's a useful development framework which I use:  
wxglade.sourceforge.net/

I also use matplotlib with wxPython - just be careful to get the right  
version -

I've never py2app'ed any of it though.

ciao,
David
