[Year 12 SofDev] Mac GUI programming tools for SofDev

[Laurie Savage]

Thanks for the tips, we've been using WingIDE which is a nice, free for
education, editor designed for Python. As for developing GUI apps, do
Django framework apps meet the criteria? i.e. Is a web app built with a
language like Python considered a GUI app?
