NSStatusItem in Python

Question

Is there any way to create a menubar app in python (The obj-c equivalent appears to be NSStatusItem) using either wxPython or Tkinter? Ideally, I'd like to keep my program in pure python, so I would like to not use PyObjC.

According to Robin Dunn (creator of wxPython), wxPython 2.9.2 supports NSStatusItem (and related widgets): http://wxpython-users.1045709.n5.nabble.com/Raising-a-wxpython-frame-from-a-PyObjC-NSStatusBar-td4559330.html

It also supports the Taskbar / system tray icons on Windows.

Refer to this: How to make an menu bar (system tray) app for OSX in Python?

In the answer to the question, Jared creates an app with rumps.

You can also check this code to create a menubar app using PyObjC only.
