[Pythonmac-SIG] Python-Cocoa with XCode 3 - external modules

[Orestis Markou]

Thanks Daniel,

I haven't used XCode that extensively myself, I will subscribe to the  
XCode list.

For simple projects I've found XCode to be very easy to use, it's good  
to know it supports complex behviours too.

Regards,
