[Pyobjc-dev] anyone notice the Panther/Python connection?

[Chris R. <cp...@em...>]

Apple announced at the WWDC this week that they're making the full 
Quartz API (most at first, rest to follow) available as a Python 
wrapper, and are supporting Python scripts as part of their PDF 
workflow (built into standard printing support).

They also announced Xcode, the next generation of Project Builder, and 
it looks great.

I talked to Ali Ozer (I think he's the main application frameworks 
technical guru) about supporting PyObjC in Xcode, and he said that 
they're pretty unlikely to support another language (beyond 
C/C++/Java/Obj-C), but that he'd heard good things about PyObjC and was 
planning to look into it. I enthused about it and it seems to perk up 
his interest.

So now might be a good time to flood the Apple wishlists with requests 
for PyObjC support in Xcode.

And, a friend of mine who's the new junior product manager for PyObjC 
hinted that more good things were coming w.r.t. Python support in 
Panther and later.

For whatever it's worth...

Cheers!
