Cheers Thor I'll give that a look. No I would certainly not be
planning on limiting it to Windows, I have a Linux box here too
although windows is my main OS for the moment.

Hi John
It seems strange to me that we have Psycollider using python/
wxpython,
while SwingOSC uses Java. I was thinking of doing a bit of a tidy up
on Psycollider's front-end, adding the equivalent of the server
windows in OSX.
That's a good idea!
Why not provide wxPython as an alternative to SwingOSC?
It might even be faster, as it's C wrapped in Python rather than
having to deal with the Java virtual machine.
But as Sciss will tell you, this is no easy task. SwingOSC is
quite amazing work and there are lots of hours put into it.
You can have a look at what we've done at ixi with a GUI server
called Zombi (it's not a SC GUI server like SwingOSC, but could
be used in SC as it receives OSC to generate the Views):

If you were to do this, I'd not limit this to Psycollider and
Windows, but
make a truly cross platform wxPython GUI in the way SwingOSC works.
(Basically you could translate SwingOSC into wxPython).
If you look at the GUI class of SuperCollider, it is ready to support
ANY
GUI servers, so you could easily implement wxPython as an option.
