currently there is no mac osx port, because no core dev owns a mac, but
we are highly interested in seeing one. However, it will be a challange
due the nature of design.

1. don't bother with 0.5.1, if you try to port use a trunk checkout :-)
there was some compatibily work going on recently.

i don't know much about osx but there are some issue that need thinking
first. as much as i know there is a native gtk port and the old x server
based one.

native:
• looks good
• feels native
• are there native python bindings availible ?
• embedding vim or other programs will be a challange. this will most
likely need some good c skills to find a way in the os x api to embed
other programs like the xembed protocoll
• medit may run

x server based:
• doesn't look that native
• maybe easier to use because long tested, pygtk is available
• medit may run more likely
• vim/emacs support is more likly to work

• textmate editor component may be cool, but a challange for both types

what version are you using. is it a native os x i guess, this will not
work and needs porting, depening on the decision above.

if you choose to port to os x we will try to help you the best we can. i
would suggest you join the pida chat room, as this would be much easier
to help real time.
