[Pyobjc-dev] Project Templates

[Bill B. <bb...@co...>]

I took Jiva's suggestion and created a Project Templates directory 
within the pyobjc source tree.   It currently contains a single 
template;  Cocoa-Python Application.   It is an edited copy of the 
standard Cocoa Application template.

When used, the template creates a Cocoa project with the following 
features/attributes:

     - includes a Main.py that initializes the bridge appropriately

     - includes a copy files phase that copies the pyobjc module into 
the app wrapper on installation

     - includes a basic application delegate class implemented in Python 
(MyAppDelegate.py)

     - upon execution, the application presents a simple window with a 
button and a field.  Click the button and an action handler fills the 
field with data.

     - only links the Foundation framework, but includes AppKit and 
Cocoa for indexing purposes

Damned handy -- thanks Jiva!

Some notes on creating templates:

     - always remove the .pbxuser file from the pbproj directory

     - make sure and edit the list of files that need expansion in the 
TemplateInfo.plist file (found in the pbproj)

     - it is also possible to automatically rename files
