I would guess the same.

For one, PyObjC does not support the iPhone platform. I know there is  
a port for jailbroken phones but that was never merged in the  
repository.   Given the limitations of the iPhone I don't see the  
benefits of doing a supported port to that platform (slow CPU, very  
little memory, no long-running processes), even if the SDK would allow  
that.
