Hi All,

I'm still a newbie to cross platform development. I chose Python for the 
obvious reason. Problems galore on Mac OSX (snowleopard), probably due to 
python being installed. So I opted for Anaconda distribution as that seemed 
to meet my needs, sections off it's own python version, has Spyder included 
etc etc. Which GUI development is recommended? I struggled to get wxpython 
working with anaconda, lots of questions on the web and no real solution 
for OSX that I can find. I then switched for pyside\QT which seems fine but 
I have problems loading jpgs, again, lot's of questions on the web but no 
easy solution on OSX. , . . . .

Any help appreciated on this.

I need to:

1) Load very large images - 4000 x 4000 pixel images.

2) Give end user capability of drawing/moving polygons/paths/markups on the 
image. 

3) Offer widgets such as sliders to apply filters to the image (brightness, 
contrast, . . ) or even better to control brightness \ contrast with shift 
drag on an image (i.e. needs to be very fast).

I've experimented with wxPython and quite responsive.

I've experimented with PIL and also quite fast.

I've experimented with OpenCV also fast.

I've looked at VIPS - not managed to test but should operate at C++ speed.

I'm struggling with Mac, on Windows seems easier to develop but when I see 
problems on Mac such as jpgs not loading I worry about cross platform 
compatibility. BTW I really don't want to upgrade to OSX 10.7+ as that will 
break some apps I have which rely on Rosetta and I'd rather not get 
involved with additional virtual machines.

Thanks in Advance!
