Display menu bar icon in osx

Question

I want my application to display an icon in the OSX menu bar (at the top of the screen Growl is sitting on). How do I do this using Python? (I understand that this is not possible with wxPython, but I am not following a special wxPython solution).

Thanks!

Answer 2

The API for displaying OS X menu icons is called NSStatusItem . It will be difficult or impossible to use from a wxPython application, but you may have to write the application using PyObjC in order to use it effectively.
