[Pythonmac-SIG] Spotlight and Python

[Jonathan Wight]

For me it worked:

     "org_python_functions" = ("get_bits", "set_lsb", "get_lsb",  
"value_from_bits");

But then I just made a new BBEdit Bits.py file and pasted your code  
into it.

The importer does seem to be crashing, but I'm not sure whether the  
python or the ObjC is dying. Is there a crash log in either ~/Library/ 
Logs/Crash Logs or /Library/Logs/Crash Logs.

I'm working on version 0.2 with slightly better error handling and a  
lot less leaking of PyObject pointers.

     Jon.
