wxPython, Python, Carbon, X11 and MacOSX

I'm so puzzled.
Let me make this straight.

There are some distributions for using Python on Mac OS X(10.5)

1. version 2.5.1 Apple "Native" python comes with OS X


2. version 2.5.2 @ fink
   


3. version 2.5.2 @ macports

There is an other way: easy_install. Mac OS X "User" Installation... but it fails with "error: Couldn't find a setup script in xxxxxxx"


Drawing System/API Choice

1. Quartz/Cocoa


2. Quartz/Carbon


3. X11/GTK(? not sure)
