[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS 7.03 for Mac OS X, problem with wxPython (missing)

Tue Mar 15 05:45:20 PDT 2016

If people are avoiding a useful system upgrade because of a single
application, that indicates that the application is important.
One of the great things about GRASS is that it runs cross platform.  It
would be a big shame to give that up.  I hope that the project can move
forward to keep Mac OS support.
I¹ve never used docker, but was just checking up on, and it doesn¹t appear
to be free, nor does it appear to work on Macs.  I could be wrong about
either, but GRASS runs natively so well, that there really should not be a
need to give that up.  I believe the one of the reasons for the shift to
wxpython, years ago, was to keep cross platform support.
