Re: [Pyobjc-dev] placing a module inside of an xcode project

[Matthew A. <man...@gm...>]

I hadn't yet even noticed how using folder references prevented you
from adding and deleting their contents until you said it. XCode
drives me insane for actually editing the text of a python program
though, so I've been using TextMate as external editor 99% of the time
anyway.  The biggest (but not only) issue is that I really want to see
visible (but close in color to the background, so not to be
distracting) glyphs for newline and tab characters when I write python
code, and the XCode editor doesn't seem to do that very well.  The
XCode "read-only" problem isn't one in TextMate.  XCode is probably a
better editor for Objective-C than it is for Python.

Too bad about the lack of dependency magic in the XCode templates, but
good to know that's how it is.

Thanks!
Matt
