The PyObjC project (pyobjc.sf.net) offers a transparent bridge between Python and Objective-C. The bridge is not limited to transparent message passing as it also supports full subclassing of Objective-C classes in Python and editing of the Objective-C runtime.
On top of that foundation, PyObjC offers full Project Builder integration such that a developer can create full-featured, production quality Cocoa applications implemented in pure Python or in a mix of Python and Objective-C. The developer also has the option of creating full-featured Cocoa applications without using Project Builder.
The resulting applications are indistinguishable from applications built using traditional technologies. A PyObjC based Cocoa/Python application can be shipped and installed without requiring the user to install any third party packages.
