Thanks, John Velman For OS X 10.4, wx has come as part of the stock python install. You may want to consider going that route if you develop exclusively for OS X--it will keep the size of your distribution down.

I recommend getting Fink (fink.sourceforge.net), which is basically a DPKG/APT repository for OS X plus an added system for automatically building packages from source. It'll keep the system up to date with the latest 2.5 release (and future versions). If you're using PyGTK, you will need to install Apple X11 (can't remember if it's installed by default yet), since OS X's window manager is not X11-based. Fink can also install GTK+, etc. for you. Other than that, most things should work as on Linux, more or less. He doesn't need Fink for up to date Python version as os x binaries are available from the www.python.org.
