[Pyobjc-dev] 1.0 released

[Ronald O. <ous...@ci...>]

PyObjC 1.0 is (finally ;-) released!

I've tagged the CVS tree: 'release_1_0' is the release, 'branch_1_0' is 
a branch for creating a 1.0.x release (should that be necessary). The 
files have been uploaded to SF and should be available "soon".

MacPython 2.3 users can get instant gratification by pointing PackMan 
to http://pyobjc.sf.net/packman/pyobjc-stable-6.6-Power_Macintosh.plist 
(and ...-7.0-... for those of you who run MacPython 2.3 on Panther).

I'll send the announcement below to other lists some time tomorrow, I 
want to be reasonably sure that the SF mirrors have picked up the 
archives/installers before telling the world about them.

ANN: PyObjC 1.0

The PyObjC developers are happy to announce the 1.0 release of PyObjC. 
It
is available for download at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/.

PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C.  It allows full
featured Cocoa applications and plugins to be written in pure Python.  
It
is also easy to use other frameworks containing Objective-C class 
libraries
from Python and to mix in Objective-C, C and C++ source.

Python is a highly dynamic programming language with a shallow learning
curve.  It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.

The installer package includes a number of Project Builder templates for
easily creating new Cocoa-Python projects, as well as support for
syntax-coloring Python files in Project Builder.

PyObjC also supports full introspection of Objective-C classes and
direct invocation of Objective-C APIs from the interactive interpreter.

PyObjC requires MacOS X 10.2 or later.  PyObjC works both with the Apple
provided Python installation in MacOS X 10.2 (and later) and with
MacPython 2.3.  Users of MacPython 2.3 can install PyObjC though the
PackageManager application.

Version 1.0 fixes a number of bugs in the beta release, and fixes some
inconsitencies in the exposed interfaces. It also includes improved 
support
for Key-Value Coding (the NSKeyValue coding informal protocol).

PyObjC is released with an open source license.
