You are right. I think there's a project for this on SourceForge called 
PyObjC.

No, you're not missing anything. You've just run into the pervasive 'Law of 
Conservation of Difficulty'. Java/jython integration is much easier, but 
Interface Builder is basically Objective-C with bridges for the Java 
versions of AppKit classes. I have no wise words on the best approach, but 
I'm also taking a fist shot at the Jython/Java way.
