Is the "existing project" something you have the sources for or do you 
want to write a plugin? If it is the former, I can't help you: my 
PB-ese is almost non-existant, I wouldn't be able to tell you how to 
add Python files to a 'Cocoa-Python Application' project without 
experimenting in PB. The latter is easier, see Examples/PrefPane. This 
builds a plugin for 'System Preferences', a simular technique should 
work for other applications.
