Xcode's code completion and other tools don't work when the project doesn't have an Objective-C file in it.

The link to that example doesn't work for me right now. 

That said, I tend to use py2app to create application bundles and don't use Xcode for Python development at all because for a Python developer Xcode is just a basic editor with a lot of junk (said junk is  very usefull when writing Objective-C, but most tools in Xcode don't understand code that isn't [Objective-]C[++]
