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 1.3.5 PyObjC 1.3.5 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, as well as py2app, a suite of tools for building redistributable Python applications and plugins. 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 with the Apple provided Python installation in Mac OS X 10.3 (and later), MacPython 2.3, and MacPython 2.4. This release features several bugfixes, improved documentation, new Xcode templates, Tiger support and many major enhancements. See the news file at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/NEWS-1.3.5.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. Write Cocoa applications in Python, using Interface Builder to design the user interface. URL: http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/
