	There are Python wrappers for the Cocoa API. These can be used with  
binaries from Python.org.
The name of the module is PyObjC, and can be downloaded from  
sourceforge.
There are binary builds for Python up to version 2.4.1.
	For Python 2.5.1, it is necessary to build it yourself, which I've  
found out requires modifying setup.py.
(The problem is that setup.py tries to use two modules that's not  
installed by default on Tiger)
