I've only gone through the tutorial and made some tweaks
to the resulting code but it seemed to work pretty much
as usual for Cocoa projects using Objective C.

You layout the UI then connect the widgets to your code
(which is in Python of course).

The PyObjC project is here:

The tutorial I used is here:

Note that it is old, but I only have an iBook from 2001
running MacOS Lion, so age wasn't an issue for me!
