Hello,
I want to know if its possible to build a standalone GUI app for Mac
using python.
Yes it is.
I need to build some application and still going through pythong
tutorials. It seems Cocoa is the only option,
Not true. wxPython, Tkinter, GTK, and others are all available. PyObjC/
Cocoa is Mac-only and the richest for a Mac-only app. There are trade-
offs with every choice.
but I want to be sure before moving away from python.
Using PyObjC (or any GUI framework) is not moving away from Python--it
is using a platform-specific GUI framework as a UI adjunct to Python
and little different from wxPtyhon or Tkinter except in platform scope.
I need to integrate it with RSS and growl notifications as well.
I believe that can be done--try Googling for support: RSS is multi-
platform while Growl is Mac-only.
Thanks in advance.
