The 1.0b1 announcement message, mostly present as input for future announcements. to python-list@python.org python-announce-list@python.org macosx-dev@omnigroup.com pyobjc-dev@sourceforge.net pythonmac-sig@python.org cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com subject: ANN: PyObjC 1.2 PyObjC 1.2 is now available for download at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/ PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C. It allows full featured Cocoa applications 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 Xcode templates for easily creating new Cocoa-Python projects. PyObjC also supports full introspection of Objective-C classes and direct invocation of Objective-C APIs from the interactive interpreter. PyObjC requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later and Python 2.3 or later. PyObjC works both with the Apple provided Python installation in Mac OS X 10.3 (and later) and with MacPython 2.3. This release features several bugfixes, improved documentation as well as support for categories, easier customization and basic support for creating Interface Builder palettes. See the news file at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/NEWS-1.2.txt for more information. PyObjC is released with an open source license (MIT style). on our website (News section): PyObjC 1.0b1 has shipped. A disk image and the sources are `available` [link]. There are many new features and bugfixes, the the NEWS file [link] for details. The PyObjC installer installs a number of examples and project builder templates as well as some documentation into /Developer. Users of MacPython 2.3b1 [link] can install this release using the PackageManager application. to adcnews@apple.com (see release-process.txt): subject: PyObjC 1.1 released PyObjC 1.1 provides a bridge between the Python and Objective-C programming languages, allowing the Python programmer transparent access to Objective-C-based classes and APIs.
