Re: [Pyobjc-dev] PyObjc and GNUstep

[<bb...@ma...>]

As Ronald indicated, the current PyObjC module doesn't support=20
GNUStep's Obj-C runtime mostly because none of the primary developers=20
have that particular Obj-C runtime right now.

It appears that to use the GNU objc runtime on OS X would require=20
installing a different version of gcc than the one that Apple ships? =20
If that is true, it should be possible to have a both versions of=20
PyObjC on the same OS X box in parallel-- one compiled for the Apple=20
runtime and one for the GNU runtime.

Now that we have the beginnings of unit tests, it will be easier to=20
qualify against the GNU runtime.

For anyone that is going to contribute to this-- either to the GNU=20
runtime support or to PyObjC, in general-- I highly encourage you to=20
write a unit test in one of the appropriate test/ subdirectories first.=20=

  Make sure it fails, then write your feature/extension/bugfix such that=20=

it passes.

(Ronald:  I feel that the test/ directories should ship with the=20
'binary distribution' in the location that they are in.   Normally, the=20=

python distribution ships with the unittests and it has been incredibly=20=

helpful to be able to wander into an alien python installation, run the=20=

unit tests, and see exactly what was built into the distribution in a=20
working fashion.... for us, it means that the user community can easily=20=

validate whether PyObjC still works after a system update from Apple.)

We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.
