Ok, I've built it as you say, moved it into ~/Library/Screen Savers and
get this when trying to select it on 10.2.8 (with PyObjC 1.0) from 
System
Preferences:

   Failed to initialize bundle NSBundle </Users/dinu/Library/
   Screen Savers/SillyBalls.saver> (loaded)

The console says the following:

2003-11-04 11:27:00.027 System Preferences[2254] can't get 
principalClass for /Users/dinu/Library/Screen Savers/SillyBalls.saver
loading python screen saver
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Users/dinu/Library/Screen 
Savers/SillyBalls.saver/Contents/Resources/SillyBalls.py", line 6, in ?
     from AppKit import NSMakePoint, NSMakeRect, NSBezierPath, NSColor
ImportError: No module named AppKit

Is the above a general problem with bundles that has been solved for
10.3 or is the lower part just a bug?
