I'm still confused as to why you need that call to ExitMainLoop.... And why this gets you Mac behavior -- the usual Mac behavior is for the App NOT to exit when all its Frames are closed. > for it (until I can test on a Windows machine) that it will also work > cross-platform. note that on any platform, I think this will cause the closing of the Frame to kill the App, whether or not there are other frames open -- if you app supports having more than one frame open at a time, you probably don't want that. > Should this be posted somewhere where newbies (like me again) who are trying > to combine Mac, Python, and wxPython can find it?
