For me the 10.4/10.5 divide (PyObjC 1.4 / PyObjC 2.x) has been a bit
of a pain, so it may be something for the OP to be aware of.

I don't have many spare OSX systems, so I've held off upgrading my
main development machine to 10.5 so that I could keep it at 10.4 for
building my application.  I also chose a while back to block the 10.4
system update (so I'm still at 10.4.10), since it included an
incompatible WebKit update and my app uses WebKit.

I suspect if you're developing on 10.5 and aiming for 10.5 clients
that things are also consistent, but crossing the divide still seems
tricky.  I've seen some mixed comments here about using a 10.5 system
to build applications that are compatible with 10.4 (one reason I've
opted not to upgrade my development box), particularly across the
WebKit change.  The latter may be less of an issue now than it was
when the upgrade first came out, but I'm still not sure that all my
users of the app have systems that have installed all the 10.4
upgrades.
