Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Why is Framework build of Python needed

I think this depends on what you think the "native Mac GUI" is, and what you want to do with it. For instance, a non-framework build, combined with Xlib (http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/) works quite well with the Apple X11 server, which in turn uses the native Mac GUI. Bill Brian Granger wr
