[Pyobjc-dev] Mapping symbols from existing binaries

[Bob I. <bo...@re...>]

I think it's about time to start considering the ability to grab 
symbols from bundles and frameworks.  The particular use case I'm 
thinking of is extern constant NSStrings and integers, so we can make 
it more painless to wrap existing frameworks and defer more ObjC code 
to Python.

What kind of interface do you all think this should have?

This would be my proposal:
objc.loadSymbols(str moduleName, dict dictToUpdate str binaryPath, dict 
symbolNamesToSignatures) -> dict symbolNamesToObjects

Ronald, what's your schedule for the release?  Would it be possible to 
get this in beforehand?  Do you want to write it or should I?
