I've found "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X", in combination with the  
PyObjC tutorials on the web, to be a very accessible combination.   
I've gone about halfway through the book, just translating the  
tutorials from ObjC to PyObjC as I go, and it's worked out fine.

When I need help, I post to the pythonmac-sig list, which is a  
friendly and helpful bunch.  (I would think that iPhone development  
would be welcome there as well, since the iPhone is more or less a  
tiny Mac, at least from a development point of view).

Best,
