Actually what I am trying to do specifically is use my logitech camera 
on Mac OS X. There is a wonderful driver macam outthere that supports 
this and many many other cameras. It seems that the best way to access 
this driver is via quicktime and cocoa. I am using the camera for 
telescope control and imaging stars. If I can get this to work 
properly, then having the code in python would make things a lot easier 
for me. It's not that it has to be done in python, it's that I want it 
to be done in python.

Thanks for the tips. The PyObc seems like it is just the trick!
