Both should be doable with PyObjC, the class browser has already been 
written at least twice and I think their is also an object browser in 
the mailinglist archives :-).

The archives also contain a hack that allows you to write PyObjC based 
extension bundles, combine all these and you get something *very* 
interesting.

Python is not too hard to integrate into your ObjC programs. If you add 
some ObjC-sauce integrating Python would be as easy as integrating 
F-script.
