Welcome to PyObjC

The PyObjC package provides the glue needed to interface the Python interpreter with the Objective-C language. At its core is the objc module makes Objective-C objects and classes available as first-class Python citizens. It is not only possible to use Objective-C objects but you can also subclass Objective-C classes.

To make it easier to use the core objc module, this package also provides a number of modules that are wrappers for the Cocoa frameworks, such as Foundation and AppKit. These modules not only give you access to the classes in these frameworks but also to the functions and constants in those modules.

To install this package double-click on PyObjC.pkg. This will install the PyObjC python package and some Project Builder templates. The documentation and examples are found in the folder PyObjC Documentation and Examples. Install these by dragging this folder to you disk, /Library/Documentation is a suitable location.

NOTE: This installer package is for Mac OS X 10.2 with the Python 2.2 supplied by Apple. There is a seperate installer for Mac OS X 10.3. If you use MacPython 2.3 on Mac OS X 10.2 you should use the Package Manager application to install PyObjC. In other situation you can install PyObjC from the source archive.
