A number of people have mentioned that installing this using "easy_install pyobjc" won't work. I tend to install manually (first install pyobjc-core, then install pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, then install the other framework wrappers you need) and haven't had time to look into this issue.

For now at least. The alternative would be packages.python.org (the pypi documentation hosting feature).

The next release should be near, the main todo item for me is to check tot easy_install can install pyobjc from a collection of source archives.
