I think we talked about providing python binaries because the .pyd compiled in gcc wouldn't be compatible with mainstream python (compiled in MSVC) or some similar problem. But I think it definitely needed to provide wxpython with the full set, or we are loosing a lot of functionality/scripting power. I'm trying to make it work at OSX, and I managed to do it, but now I'm trying to find a way to pack it all together (libraries + exe) or build it all statically (as Marco Serantoni recommended me), but I'm yet a little bit lost in OSX.
