Hi,
This is awesome. If and when you need testers, i'd be willing to test.

Well, with a quick check of the source (it is indeed opensource, and
judging from the page where the source is located, The original author
is perfectly willing to work with folks on fixing/improving the
program, so I'm fairly certain, there'd be no issue with making
another fork for a mac port.
Unfortunately, I'm only a mediocre python programmer, so this will
teach me a lot, as well as challenge my python skills to make this work.
I'm confident it can be done though.
So, there we go.
At the moment, from what I've seen, it's very much windows centric,
and it will take some work to get it whipped into some simblance of
order as a mac app, since there's quite a bit of things that need to
be rewritten/replaced, but the core of the system should work without
too much hassle, so the short answer is: Yes, a port to the mac is
possible.
The long answer though is that it will take some time, and I'll need
to get a lot more familiar with python code probably before the
complete port is made. The text-to-speech portion will be relatively
easy, since osx provides fairly well for that, so we will have that
part p and running pretty quickly, most of the other add-ons though
might be a problem. I'm not sure what some of the windows components
are (yet) so researching and finding replacements for those that work
on osx is likely to be the toughest part of the port. However, if
this can be dne, I see no reason why the entire functionality of the
qwitter client can't be ported cleanly to the mac.
I'll keep folks posted, and of course ask for volunteers for testing
as porting progresses.
I'll also make the author aware of my efforts, in case he's
willing/able to assist.
Hope this helps.
