When you add a new Python file to the project you must import it somewhere. In simple project's I tend to add the import statement for classes that are only used in nib files to the 'main.py' file.

When you do that problems 2 and 3 go away.

XCode does not support debugging of Python code (or rather anything that is not Objective-C/C++). I tend to get by with print statements and sometimes fall back to Python's pdb debugger. The latter has lowlevel command-line interface, it doesn't have a nice GUI.
