[Pyobjc-dev] Reason not to use the python based main

I ran into the single biggest reason not to use a pure python main this morning. Project Builder's indexing relies on the use of header files to determine what to index. As such, if I link Cocoa, AppKit, and Foundation into my application as I build main.m, all three framework's documentation and headers will be fully indexed by PBX such that I can easily and very quickly access it through cmd or opt double-clicking. Very, very handy. Now, of course, this doesn't mean we couldn't use a python based main and provide a different NSExecutableFile key/value in the information bundle while continuing to build a binary with all the frameworks for indexing purposes, but why bother when we already have a bin-python-main.m that works quite well, if fully Cocoa compliant, and has some additional features already implemented that are extremely convenient as the size of a project grows? b.bum |
