I hate to nitpick..
Automated Installation Applications / Tools, I think would be a better
description...
Installers makes me think of applications like the Vise installer package...
Which usually takes care of both the binary apps, and examples, etc...

Yes, similiar to my thinking... Except for another minor nitpick...
I would suggest:
PyObjC_Doc_And_Examples_1.0b2-binary instead... Yes, it's a longer name,
but would you normally expect to see the documentation in with the Example
code?
