ANN: PyObjC 1.0

[Ronald Oussoren]

The PyObjC developers are happy to announce the 1.0 release of PyObjC. 
It
is available for download at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/.

PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C.  It allows full
featured Cocoa applications and plugins 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 Project Builder templates for
easily creating new Cocoa-Python projects, as well as support for
syntax-coloring Python files in Project Builder.

PyObjC also supports full introspection of Objective-C classes and
direct invocation of Objective-C APIs from the interactive interpreter.

PyObjC requires MacOS X 10.2 or later.  PyObjC works both with the Apple
provided Python installation in MacOS X 10.2 (and later) and with
MacPython 2.3.  Users of MacPython 2.3 can install PyObjC though the
PackageManager application.

Version 1.0 fixes a number of bugs in the beta release, and fixes some
inconsitencies in the exposed interfaces. It also includes improved 
support
for Key-Value Coding (the NSKeyValue coding informal protocol).

PyObjC is released with an open source license.
