that works al right.

If you use the attached pluginbuilder.py and add the following code to 
init_objc in Modules/objc/module.m you can build a IB.palette that 
actually loads. I haven't checked if you can actually do anything in 
the plugin.

         /* Python based plugin bundles currently use only 
PyObjClass_GetClass,
          * add that seperately to avoid distributing pyobjc-api.h for 
now
          */
         {
                 PyObject* v = 
PyCObject_FromVoidPtr((void*)(PyObjCClass_GetClass), NULL);
                 if (v == NULL) return;

                 PyDict_SetItemString(d, "__C_GETCLASS__", v);
         }


Warning: this is a hack and I don't know yet if I want to see this code 
anywhere near our repository.
