Seriously? No, we're saying we need someone who knows how to get PyQt apps. running on a Mac to package or document the procedure. Googling "pyqt mac binary" seems to throw up some possibilities, but not having a Mac I wouldn't know how they work. > But perhaps most importantly, the Leo homepage describes Leo as > "Portable...runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS X."

Remember that the statement was probably written long before Leo started using PyQt. I would imagine that running Leo in Tk mode on a Mac isn't so difficult. Really Python, Qt, and Tk for that matter all aim to be platform independent, and to the degree they're not, that's a shortcoming on their parts rather than Leo's. But it does seem as if a caveat on the page in question would help avoid disappointment on the part of users of OSs not supported by these technologies. Maybe "Portable...runs where ever Python and Qt or Tk run" might be more general. Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
