Xcode uses the 'python' executable on the shell's $PATH. Unless you  
have changed environment.plist (I can't recall where that's located  
right now, I'm pretty sure it's described on macosxhints.com) that  
will be /usr/bin/python.

If you had PyObjC installed in Tiger you've probably installed a  
Python in /Library/Frameworks as well, unless you're developing for  
Tiger your (IMHO) better of by removing that copy of Python and using  
the system python instead. /usr/bin/python on Leopard is Python 2.5.1  
with some additional patches.
