Why not?

Suggest something different.

Not at all. But feel free to take it as challenge if you wish.  
Pistols at dawn? ;-)

I chose not to use PyObjC because:

1: I started this before the PyObjC guys had officially released  
PyObjC for 10.4

2: I'm not an expert in PyObjC.

3: I wasn't sure how to bundle PyObjC with the importer without  
conflicting with PyObjC already on their machine (see #2)

4: It was pretty quick and easy even without PyObjC.

5: It was fun. ;-)
