Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Getting started confusion

[James R E. <Jam...@lr...>]

Hi Scott,

You should be able to stick with the system-supplied PyObjC for most cases.  There have been some bugs fixed since that version, but for the most part, they are minor (although the definition of "minor" will depend on which libraries you need to use).

For what it's worth, I'm still using a (mostly) stock 10.6.3 Python/PyObjC setup for all of my development.  The only changes I've made are to fix a couple of bugs in py2app relating to 1) alias builds and 2) plugin builds (see below).  (I believe that Ronald has already incorporated these fixes in SVN.)

Cheers!
James
