Cross platform GUI toolkits for OS X // Python // R

Qt (no from R)
	Qt (X11) in fink
	QtMac (Carbon) commercial
	
wxWindows (no from R)
	wxGTK (X11) in fink
	wxMac (Carbon) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython
	wxCocoa (on its way to CVS)

tk (yes from R)
	tk (X11) in fink
	AquaTk (Carbon)

GTK (yes from R)
	GTK+ (X11) in fink
	GTK-OSX (Carbon) http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/
	GTK-Quartz (Cocoa) http://gtk-quartz.sourceforge.net/ (dead ?)
	
fltk (no from R)
	fltk (X11) from fink
	fltk (Carbon) from CVS http://www.fltk.org/software.php?SOFTWARE=v2_0
	
Of course X11/Xlib programming is possible in OS X, as is Motif
programming (lesstif and openmotif are in fink). But this is too
low-level to classify as a toolkit. And Carbon and Cocoa programming
is obviously possible, but that's not cross-platform. Interfaces to all  
these
toolkits are available from Python, which mean you can use Rpy to mix
toolkit and R programming.
