No,
Python is already on the OS, wxPython will be build from sources directly
from Cmake.
After that adding features will be easy, and in the meanwhile we will have
a common bases on which we can do support on.
I'm studing the "packaging" at the moment and some modifies to do, then
i'll add patches and do some tests on different architectures/Universal and
versions.
Let me end this part, anyway i don't think there will be great issues, will
be only adding/set in the enviroment variables some PYTHONPATH directly
from the executables, just standardize them.
