You need to install wxPython, which in turn requires wxWidgets. 

A great package, you might find many uses for it. I also recommend Boa Constructor as an IDE for wxPython programs. You can make professional-quality GUIs using Boa Constructor and wxPython in no time flat.

Subject: Re: [Csnd] [ANN] Cabel - a GUI for building opcode based csound instruments

How is the standard way of using these on Mac OS X ?

Here is console output following instructions in README and INSTALL

[localhost:~/Desktop/cabel-0.8] user% python cabel.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "cabel.py", line 1, in ?
     from model.workspace import Workspace
   File "/Users/daveakbari/Desktop/cabel-0.8/model/workspace.py", line 
3, in ?
     from model.xmlReader import XmlModuleReader
   File "/Users/daveakbari/Desktop/cabel-0.8/model/xmlReader.py", line 
8, in ?
     import view.module
   File "/Users/daveakbari/Desktop/cabel-0.8/view/module.py", line 1, in 
?
     import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

??

Advice on how to proceed is most anticipated as this looks like a very 
interesting tool!
