To start of I have one minor nit: the PythonGlue.{h,m,py} files are not 
in the archive :-)

W.r.t. loading PythonGlue: It might not be necesary to instantiate a 
class, you could do everything with class methods. You could even do 
all the work in a +load method, but as the order in which the load 
methods are called seems to be undefined this is a bit scary.

I noticed that you have to build the iTunes OSA module yourself, why 
isn't this part of MacPython? OTOH, having a description of how you 
build those modules is very usefull in itself.

I like this example, please add it to the repository.

I have no idea if we can distribute a modified Apple example. I don't 
think this is too bad.
