Hello All,
I'm keeping the thread name because I'm sure now it will have attracted
the interest of those knowledgeable on the topic. But anyway, does
anyone have any feeling for the prospect of Apple including PyObjC as a
standard part of the system install in the future? I do have many
classes in Python that I have written that I would love to put a GUI
around and make an application out of--and be able to distribute to my
peers without their having to install anything beyond my program. The
PyObjC documentation is a bit evasive on this topic (or I am missing
something?).

I'm beginning to see why the language lists are segregated.
Why is it that every time Perl, Python, or Ruby are mentioned,
someone always chimes in that one of the others is better? Can't we
save that sort of thing for usenet?
If I had the time, I'd learn all three, and lisp, sather, and lua
too. The more options I have available, the better-equipped I am as
a developer. That's what CamelBones is about - it's not about
competing with some other language, it's about adding another
option.
Actually I'm quite familiar with Perl, and I've taken a good look at
CamelBones in the past (particularly when I was porting Frozen Bubble
to OS X). I'm not saying Python is better than Perl on every
account, but in this particular case with about 10 lines of
non-template Python code (8 of which are in my tutorial, and the
other two in my previous email) he could have something up and
running in a NSTableView... which is less work than he already did
writing the mock csv-reading code in his email.
In all of my Python experiences, I've found that the generated
application's minimum system requirements are my current OS. IOW, if I
install Python on my OS X 10.3 box and build apps with it, the apps do
not work in an pre-OS X 10.3 environment.
As such, I find it a bit hard to recommend for any serious work,
unless you don't mind running in OS X 10.2 forever. It's possible that
I'm doing something wrong, though.
(My experiences were generally related to rebuilding and modifying the
open-source BitTorrent client.)
