You don't have to install the version in the trunk, if you manually  
convert unicode characters to integers (using "ord", rather than the  
unichar function I mentioned yesterday)

Phew, I'm glad that didn't work. Please don't install PyObjC 2.2 in  
the system install of Python.  There are differences between the  
current edition of PyObjC and the version included in Leoopard and I  
don't know if those changes are backward compatible. That means that  
installing an updated version of PyObjC could break system components  
(especially on Leopard Server).

Sadly enough the version in the trunk isn't ready to be installed by  
new users yet, I need to do some work on packaging (makeing sure that  
it can be installed from source with the Python.org distribution,  
provide binary packages, ...).
