Xcode can be used to edit Python, but isn't a python IDE. This means  
you won't be able to use Xcode's debugger to debug Python code. I  
(and hopefully others) have filed an enhancement request for this in  
Apple bugtracker, but so far without effect.

PyObjC ships with  a number of project templates for building Python- 
Cocoa applications. I guess one could change one of them to do what  
you want.  I won't be the one doing that though, I don't use Xcode  
for Python development and editing Xcode templates isn't exactly a  
fun activity.
