I updated the source and had a look at the project.  nibwrapper.py was 
listed both in 'Bundle Resources' and in the 'Copy Files' phase.   I'd 
bet PBX had added the file to the 'Copy Files' phase and not the 
'Bundle Resources' phase when nibwrapper.py was originally added--  PBX 
can be confusing like that sometimes.

In any case, it would have worked on installation, but fails during a 
normal build (because the copy files phase only happens during 
installation with the assumption that a developer machine will have 
PyObjC installed in the local python distribution).

What we really need is a 'rapid turnaround mode' that adds the PBX 
project's directory to sys.path automatically.  WebObjects does this 
automatically, but the mechanism by which it does so is, well, ummm..., 
"very interesting".

Ideally, a project could have all of the Python files in a 'Copy Files' 
phase that is only activated on the 'install' target.   Prior to that, 
everything would be found within the project...

So much possibility, so little time....
