I was looking at the full download size, but my situation is more
complicated than that. This is software being developed for another
company, so then it becomes an issue of where to install the framework and
how to give credit in documentation I have no control over. Also, add on
the time it takes me to learn how to use the Mac Python ObjC interfaces to
actually USE the API, and we're straddling a fine line between a bunch of
wasted time no matter which way you look at it.
Since I already have a working code and suitable module init code, it FEELS
like getting my module working would be slightly easier. Obviously, it is
not turning out that way!
