Re: [wxPython-mac] Re: Porting wxPython to Mac



The problem is that if you run 2 wxPython scripts, they should run *as separate applications with separate menubars*.

If menubars are associated within a window-- not the Macintosh way and a probably less effecient means of presenting a menubar-- as it is on Windows and most X11 environments, then it isn't an issue.

With a true menubar, it is an issue.

Furthermore, they really want to run in separate interpreted processes as that ensures that if one instance of Python.app dies, it doesn't take out all wx* based applications.

As a sideline, I don't understand the bit about "So for example, when a wxPython script is executed, the Mac OS sees any windows the script creates, or menus it tries to create, as belonging to Python.app - not to that particular script.". This is also something I've heard here before, and I don't understand how it could be otherwise. X11 also sees windows as belonging to a process (or actually a socket connection, in it's case)
. MS-Windows too. Any other window system I'm aware of as well. The script isn't an entity the window server will know about, it's just processes (and/or connections).
