That's true for PyObjC 1.4. I definely won't fix that, I really don't  
have time for that. PyObjC 2.x uses a completely different method for  
wrapping frameworks.

The good news is that it should be possible to update the problematic  
wrappers using tools included with PyObjC 1.4, "Tools/CodeGenerators/ 
cocoa_generator.py" is the script that I used to create the framework  
wrappers in PyObjC 1.4. The main portion of that is a Python script  
that parses header files using regular expressions and generates the  
Python and ObjC code for the wrappers. Running that on a 10.4.11  
system should get you working wrappers for that version of webkit.
