Embedded Python "Freedom Force is a game developed by Irrational Games. It uses an embedded Python 1.52 interpreter and much of the game logic is written in python and accessible by the end user." [from The Vaults of Parnassus] Cool! You can download a demo from many sites, including Gamespot. 8:14:54 PM

wxPython Mac wiki I've created a wxPython Mac wiki page to capture the key items that come out of the wxPython-mac mailing list discussions. MachoPython (Unix Python) issues will also be covered, since it is necessary to use MachoPython with wxPython with the current build of wxPython Mac. 3:36:38 PM

Bill Bumgarner has put together "some decent starting points for setting up an effective development environment with OS X." Thanks Bill! 9:19:03 AM

Five years ago I stopped using Macs for a number of reasons and switched to Windows NT 4 and then later Windows 2000. For the last ten months, I've been working on PythonCard, which is a cross-platform framework for building desktop applications with Python. The GUI toolkit, wxPython, that PythonCard relies on is now available for OS X, so yesterday I got a G4 Mac. As I return to the Mac with its new OS, I'll be documenting a lot of what I learn, pointing to the best resources I find, and making a few comments along the way. 9:09:24 AM
