Probably because most of the Python world isn't developing GUI applications (though seems to be a big swing in this direction).
As a counterpoint, there are approximately 30,000 downloads of wxPython for each version. wxPython is typically used by developers and the packaged apps are used by the end users, with the latter not being reflected in the downloads.

Mac OS X has only been around a few years and there aren't many people working on making it better (though I'm sure there are lots of people using it), so you can't really expect a best of breed solution just yet.
There was, and still is to a certain degree a relative high cost barrier of entry for doing MacOS stuff, especially for developers who want
to support multiple platforms. The Mac mini has helped, but the
lack of virtualisation software still hinders. Apple also has around
5% market share of the desktop which means when people are deciding
where to allocate their time, they have to think real hard about
supporting Apple.
