[Pyobjc-dev] Embedding python in coca app - use pyobjc to convert between python/objc?

[Amos L. <am...@la...>]

Hi,

I'm new to pyobjc and cocoa. I'm trying to embed python in a cocoa
application. It's working fine, but it seems like a lot of work to
convert objc types to python before calling python functions, and then
convert the resulting python objects to objc objects. I suspect that
there may be a way to use pyobjc to do this kind of conversion for me
more easily and/or more correctly.

I've looked at the pyobjc examples but none of them seem to be written
from the point of view of someone embedding python in an objc
application. My suspicions are that I should figure out how to create
a bundle written in python, and then load that bundle in my cocoa app
and call the functions it defines, with pyobjc taking care of the
python/objc conversions of arguments and return values.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or examples of the best ways to embed
python in cocoa apps.

Thanks!
