The PyObjC project aims to provide a bridge between the Python and Objective-C programming languages. The bridge is intended to be fully bidirectional, allowing the Python programmer to take full advantage of the power provided by various Objective-C based toolkits and the Objective-C programmer transparent access to Python based functionality.

The most important usage of this is writing Cocoa GUI applications on Mac OS X in pure Python. See our tutorial for an example of this.

News

2009-11-24: Installing into System python -

It is technically possible to install new versions of PyObjC into the system install of python (such as using /usr/bin/easy_install).

We advise not to do that however, because bits of the system may use PyObjC and we're not 100% upward compatible w.r.t. the version of PyObjC that's included with MacOSX.

2009-11-24: PyObjC 2.2 released -

There are relatively few user-visibly changes from the last release.

This release can be installed using easy_install

Usage:

$ easy_install pyobjc==2.2

This will install the core bridge as well as all stable framework wrappers.

NOTE2: easy_install will not install py2app, you will have to install that manually.

2009-05-26: PyObjC 2.2b2 released -

PyObjC 2.2b2 is the second beta release for PyObjC 2.2. There are relatively few user-visibly changes from the last release.

This release can be installed using easy_install

Usage:

$ easy_install pyobjc==2.2b2

This will install the core bridge as well as all stable framework wrappers.

NOTE: This is a beta release, which means there are still know issues with this release although it should in general be stable and an improvement over the last release.

NOTE2: easy_install will not install py2app, you will have to install that manually.

2009-03-01: PyObjC 2.2b1 released -

PyObjC 2.2b1 is the first beta release for PyObjC 2.2. There are relatively few user-visibly changes from the last release. The most important ones are:

  • This release can be installed using easy_install

    Usage:

    $ easy_install pyobjc==2.2b1
    

    This will install the core bridge as well as all stable framework wrappers.

  • Most framework wrappers ship with unittests that verify that the wrappers actually work as intended.

    These tests are not yet entirely complete, but have already helped in finding and fixing a number of issues.

NOTE: This is a beta release, which means there are still know issues with this release although it should in general be stable and an improvement over the last release.

NOTE2: easy_install will not install py2app, you will have to install that manually.
