PyObjC does not work with Python 3.x yet. I have looked at this, and  
this will be a signifant effort both because of changes in the Python  
extension API and because of changes in the language (such as abstract  
base classes). I want to get 2.2 out before a start working on that.

10.6 support will happen, but I can neither talk about that nor  
provide code without breaking NDA.

W.r.t. your last question: why is Python 2.6 not an option for you?   
IMHO Python 3.0 shouldn't be used for  application development, the  
python.org team is working hard on a release of Python 3.1 because  
that will fix some serious annoyances with 3.0. Even then a large  
subset of Python libraries won't support Python 3.
