[Pyunit-interest] Fwd: Pycotine now using PyObjC! ;-)

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

FYI, I posted this recently on the pyobjc-mailinglist. It's about
a 100% Python implementation of my previous Objective-C version of
a Cocoa GUI test i/f on the Mac... Regard it as beta code as the
tarball for v. 0.2 does not include anything else but code, which
you have to build with Apple's ProjectBuilder.
