I have a new MacBookPro with SnowLeopard and have found that the Apple
Developer community claims I can develop for Mac using xcode and a framework
called cocoa.
I signed up as an Apple developer and downloaded xcode. Python 2.6.1 is factory installed.
Now this xcode + cocoa system is daunting.
You may or may not want to use Cocoa, but if you do, you can use PyObjC
to write cocoa UIs with Python. You can also write platform-independent
UIs with pyQT, wxPython or TkInter.
Frankly, I don't know where to start.
You want to start with:
numpy: http://numpy.scipy.org/
scipy: http://www.scipy.org/
(there are helpful mailing lists for those, too)
and for mac-specific questions:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
You probably also want to start with the non-apple installed python, but
rather get the latest 2.6 version from python.org
welcome aboard!
