Pybliographer - Release 1.2.2 is out. New stable release of Pybliographer is available, starting today. Additionally, there is a new Arch repository for the source code. Having read that some users are trying to install pybliographer in Mac OS X (and their difficulty in doing so), I realized that pybliographer could break out and be a highly used program if it was ported for other OSes. To this end, I wonder if the main developers would be receptive to porting it using wxPython? Shadow's experimental bittorrent client was developed in wxPython and tons of other software use it. Just a thought.

What does pybibliographer use already? I've been able to run some programs using GTK and PyGTK without any problems. Besides that, aren't most of the problems due to Recode not working properly?
Yes, pyblio uses GTK, pygnome, etc. at the moment. Yeah, I figured that much too about the recode problems. Although I was talking about Mac OS X in my entry, I should have said that moving to wxPython may help those in the Windows world (and all the cygwin nastiness). However, if wxPython was used, Mac OS X users wouldn't have to install fink and X11 server like they do now to run pyblio. But then again, how do we get around recode?
