[Pyobjc-dev] trying to integrate an objective C library into a Python prototype application

[John S. <joh...@gm...>]

I am new to Mac/ObjC development, and intermediate in my Python skill.

I have downloaded the Darwiin wii-remote library, and I am trying to
integrate it with my  existing application developed in Python. I'm working
on a MacBook running Leopard, and I've downloaded XCode 3.0, and fink, and
vpython, and a few other things. I can run parts of my app through IDLE
successfully.

In XCode, I get these messages during my build and run:

This GDB was configured as "i386-apple-darwin".warning: Unable to read
symbols for
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WiiRemote.framework/Versions/A/WiiRemote"
(file not found).
Program loaded.

ImportError: No module named WiiRemote

In Idle, I try importing a bunch of libraries (I like IDLE better):

import sys
sys.path.extend
(['/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin',

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac',

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python',

'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC',

'/Users/jstoner/Documents/projects/boogiepants/boogiepants/build/Release/boogiepants.app/Contents/MacOS',

'/Users/jstoner/Documents/projects/boogiepants/boogiepants/build/Release/boogiepants.app/Contents/Resources',

'/Users/jstoner/Documents/projects/boogiepants/boogiepants/build/Release/boogiepants.app/Contents/Resources/PyObjC',
                     '/Library/Frameworks'],

'/Users/jstoner/Documents/projects/boogiepants/WiiRemoteFramework/build/Release/WiiRemote.framework/'])
But I still can't seem to find the right file:

import WiiRemote
...
ImportError: No module named WiiRemote

I've screwed around a lot trying to get Python to find this library to no
avail. Any ideas?
