PyObjC 1.1 is now available for download at
http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/
PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C. It allows full
featured Cocoa applications to be written in pure Python. It is also
easy to use other frameworks containing Objective-C class libraries
from Python and to mix in Objective-C, C and C++ source.
Python is a highly dynamic programming language with a shallow learning
curve. It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.
The installer package includes a number of Xcode and Project Builder
templates for easily creating new Cocoa-Python projects, as well as
support
for syntax-coloring Python files.
PyObjC also supports full introspection of Objective-C classes and
direct invocation of Objective-C APIs from the interactive interpreter.
PyObjC requires MacOS X 10.2 or later. PyObjC works both with the Apple
provided Python installation in MacOS X 10.2 (and later) and with
MacPython 2.3. Users of MacPython 2.3 can install PyObjC though the
PackageManager application.
The major improvement of PyObjC 1.1 is support for Key-Value Observing.
It
is now possible to write programs that use Cocoa Bindings. There are
also
numerous new examples.
PyObjC is released with an open source license.
