Same here. I've started to learn Cocoa and programming it with 
Objective-C and I LOVE it. I've also played a little with F-Script 
after reading the article on oreilly which and the integration of 
that scripting language with cocoa is nothing short of amazing. And 
now I've just received AppleScript Studio, which totally rocks.

I can't wqit to be able to program Cocoa apps using Python, the two 
would make for the coolest development enviroment.

Just, now that you've kickstarted this, if you need any kind of 
help I'd be very glad to oblige.
I've running Mac OS X only since September last year, now which 
means that unfortunately, I can only help with Python in that 
environment.

Same goes here. I've switched to using Mach-O-Python (the 
Unix-based one) due to the fact that for me the IDE on Mac OS X is 
FUBAR. But again if I can help with bringing the IDE to MOSX, 
please count me in.
