I've long though about the possibility of using aquafied GUI from
Fink's Python, but I've not been so smart as you. I think that a Python
package that builds against the Aqua Tcl/Tk would be great, and Fink's
users would appreciate it a lot. I hope the developers take it into
account.
Just my 2 cents,
Andrea.

Hi citizens:
I noticed that 10.4 now comes with an aquafied TclTk framework. For
awhile now I had been manually installing this, and then manually
installing a framework build of Python.
With 10.4, this just became much easier, as the only thing required
for me to build Python 2.4 was to configure enabling frameworks and
then to issue make frameworkinstall. To get python to use the
non-fink TclTk by default, I just put prepended /usr/bin to my path
temporarily. After it installed, I created the symbolic link
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.4/
site-packages -> /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ to replace the
(empty) framework site-packages directory with mine from fink, that
contains other modules like numeric, scientific, Pmw, and so on.
As a result, programs (such as pymol) that use Tkinter or Pmw (which
depends on Tkinter) launch FIVE TIMES faster than with the X-windows
version in fink (6 seconds vs. 30 seconds on my 2x2.5 GHz G5), and
using IDLE is now faster and it is aquafied.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a version of Python
within fink that builds against the aqua TclTk in fink? I think you
can potentially put frameworks anywhere.
The only drawback I can see currently is that there are some functions
within Pmw that depend on blt, which is not yet available in the aqua
form.
Just an idea ...
