Write Pure Python Cocoa Apps

bbum writes "Today, Ronald Oussoren and I patched the PyObjC (PythonObj-C) bridge to allow for completely standalone Cocoa applications that are implemented in Python. My 11-Oct-2002 weblog entries provide more detail and includes a link to a PyObjC Cocoa app that can be downloaded and hacked upon (with the app, you can actually create other apps without using the dev tools at all!). As the days pass, I'll be updating the 'blog with new software, updates, etc. A Fink package will be submitted shortly. (In reality -- Ronald did the hard stuff in that he figured out how to subclass ObjC classes in Python!!)" Nifty. Note there is also a PerlObjCBridge module included with Jaguar, and there's also CamelBones for Perl-Cocoa; what other scripting frameworks for Mac OS X are out there?

    Combine the following:

    Unpopular language: phython

    Unpopular API: Cocoa

    Result: a going-nowhere application

    Would you do me a favor and go find a very sharp knife (or a blunt one, actually -- doesn't matter much to *me*) and cut off your balls? Because we really don't need you reproducing.
