Re: Python&QA vs OSX ...
Sorry, I forgot to reply to all
Miguel,
As you can see i've committed the part to make possibile the linking of Kicad also with dynamic linking and making binaries portable (scripts/osx_fixbundle.sh )
I'm in those days working on wxPython, i'm confident to release a similar mechanism for Python by the end of this month with a minimal set of patches.

If I had more available time, that wouldn't be a problem (I suppose) because I could do both things.., but I feel my python part has a long way ahead and I want to use my available time on that.
