I did this, and also downloaded and installed bdist_mpkg-0.4.2 as that 
seemed to be necessary. Now when I run "python setup.py install" for 
pyobjc I get:

"""

"""

It appears to be saying I need bdist-mpkg 0.4.2 or greater, but since 
that's what I just installed I'm not sure what the problem is.
