I use MacPorts all the time and used Fink on earlier systems. (And I
guess Homebrew is similar.)
I don’t know what you would call "incomprehensibly complex" about any
of them.
It’s normally not advised to use Port’s or Fink’s python, esp. to do
any Mac-specific stuff, because they follow a "general UNIX/Linux"
approach, i.e. use X11. If you don’t need any other "ported" stuff,
you might be annoyed that they pull in "a complete Linux system".
Normally the best advice is to use python.org’s distribution.
Sometimes ActiveState’s may be better.
4) Xcode 4, which I just learned about, seems to not support python
at all,
according to threads here.
Probably not true - python support in XCode 4 seems different than in
previous versions, but it’s there.
(As far as I read the latest thread on that subject - never tried
python with any XCode myself.)
be this hard, and if it really is this hard, I just won't be writing
GUI
apps for the Mac, because
I really like python, more than any other language I've used. I
like python
because it is clear, it
works, it is well documented, and it is complete. Thus far, PyObjC
is none
of these.
Why don’t you use wxPython? (I suggest to use it via the "dabo"
wrapper, esp. for data-centric applications; see http://dabodev.com)
There *are* reasons against wx, but perhaps none of them is yours.
