Rather than simply deleting this wiki page, I'm marking it as out-of-date until the relevant portions can be updated. In the meantime, if you want more up-to-date info on wxPython on Mac OS X you should see wxPythonOSX Issues
It seems pretty simple, download the two disk images above. Run the MachoPython package installer (you'll need the admin password). Then run the wxPython Mac package installer (again you'll need the admin password). At this point, both MachoPython and wxPython Mac should be installed and ready to go. How do we have the user verify this is working? WxPython is using a legacy script, and according to this technical note bundle installers were deprecated and are (as of El Capitan release) unsupported. Bundle-style installer packages are a legacy transition aid that is no longer supported. PackageMaker is also no longer supported.
Introduction
For the next week this wiki page will probably be pretty raw, asking as many questions as it answers. Help fill in the answers, point to relevant mailing list posts, web site pages, etc. Then we can point new users to this page once we have the big issues sorted out.

MachoPython 2.2.1 and wxPython Mac 2.3.3 preview builds.
Installation
Okay, I need a little help here on the correct terminology for disk images, packages, etc. It seems pretty simple, download the two disk images above. Run the MachoPython package installer (you'll need the admin password). Then run the wxPython Mac package installer (again you'll need the admin password). At this point, both MachoPython and wxPython Mac should be installed and ready to go. How do we have the user verify this is working? Do we need screenshots? Does installation order actually matter? This seems like pretty standard stuff, but I'm too new at this to wordsmith the docs.
Will the wxPython demo be part of the standard distribution? How about documentation? Where will these be located and can the user get to them via the Finder? Should an alias be automatically created in a common user folder that points at the right wxPython folder?
Issues with uninstallaing or overwriting previous installs as new versions are made available?
Fink distribution of MachoPython and wxGTK
Fink
It would be nice to cover running wxGTK, pitfalls when wxPython Mac and MachoPython binary above are already installed, etc. I know people using one or the other, but not both.
Bob Ippolito posted: 'I don't recommend using Fink's python, I believe it's compiled to support X11 and not OS X's GUI. It won't conflict with your MachoPythoninstall if you don't have source /sw/bin/init.csh in your .cshrc, otherwise you may have to tweak your path to put /usr/local/bin before /sw/bin in your .cshrc.'
MacPython versus MachoPython
MachoPython is required for the wxPython Mac binary.
Wxpython For Python 3
Issues with having MacPython and MachoPython installed? By default both installers create /Applications/Python.app. Perhaps moving the MacPython version away before installing MachoPython would work?
Using MacPython IDE as a Python script editor.
Build Instructions
Build instructions by Frank Vercruesse for wxPython Mac.
Running a script by double-clicking in the Finder
You need to associate .py and .pyw files in the Finder. In the Finder, do a 'Get Info' on a .py file. Choose the 'Open with application' pane and you can set it for all *.py files. Repeat for .pyw files.
Need additional discussion and/or link to mailing list messages on the topics below:
Bill Bumgarner's PythonLauncher http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2002-April/005533.html
pythonw shell script (probably need some explanation here)
limitations of running multiple scripts ???
Running a script in the Terminal
You can also run a script from the Terminal command-line.
Note that output from stdout (e.g. print statments) and stderr (e.g. tracebacks) will go to the Console. Both the Terminal and Console apps are in Utilities folder under Applications in the Finder.
The default Terminal shell is tcsh. The default system shell is zsh; there is also a symlink for sh that points to zsh.
Question: Does this mean that if you want to modify the PYTHONPATH that you'll need an additional .login or something besides .cshrc so that you can make PYTHONPATH changes like:
In other words, where should settings be made so that user environment variables are valid for both the Terminal and when running something from the Finder?
Need to add info about alternative invocations, passing command-line arguments to the script, etc.

Known Bugs
Should we keep a running list here, use SourceForge tracker, the mailing list, or something else?
- [SDD] Several (most) of the wxPython demo programs die. Where is the page describing how to help debug this?
[KEA] I've created a working scratchpad wxPython Mac and PythonCard Issues page to track progress of work on OS X.

[1] | (1, 2) The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture (formerly EM64T), i.e. the architecture that Microsoft calls x64, and AMD called x86-64 before calling it AMD64. They will not work on Intel Itanium Processors (formerly IA-64). |
