X3, Another Obscure Windowing Kit

While I was out and about raking the countryside for any sort of OSX knowhow (Carbon stuff can be a lengthy, spelly, Chaucerian feat,) I ran across an open darcs repository for x3. It’s like Shoes, in that it’s a minimalist gooey toolkit. But it’s more focused on using the native widgets.

For a sample of the Python code: right here.
