[Pyobjc-dev] Web Services Tool example updated

[Bill B. <bb...@co...>]

The Web Services Tool has been updated to work with the Apple supplied 
Python.   The change was quite easy -- it simply sets up the command 
line arguments as one normally would when using /usr/bin/python and 
calls execve() to transfer control to the python interpreter.

Unfortunately, due to the way python starts the interpreter, the path 
to the python executable is required (i.e. the #! at the head of the 
script is ignored.

Fortunately, it really doesn't matter and I could recycle the code from 
the original main file.

If you want to mix compiled ObjC with Python, you'll need to create a 
bundle target in your app project.  Then, create a copy files build 
phase that copies the bundle product into your app wrapper.  Finally, 
load the bundle from Main.py.

The executable that results from building Web Services Tool could be 
used in any application to bootstrap into Python.  In reality, you 
could:

- create a new Cocoa project of whatever variety

- remove the main.m

- add a "copy files phase"

- copy the executable from WST into your app wrapper

- change the NSExecutable attribute to "Web Services Tool"

And it'll just work.

We should consider shipping a premade executable with pyobjc?   That 
way, as the executable is upgraded, developers can just rebuild their 
projects as opposed to having to track some random source file?   Not 
really a huge advantage here, I guess.
