No they won't be used in the same niche. Objective C is certainly not

written in Swift however.
OS X apps will indeed be written in Swift; esp if they will be
distributed from the Apple Store--- Python apps are streng verboten in
Apple land.
OTOH, much of my Python work is done on the mac for the mac... just
not distributed from the Apple Store.
OTOH, it only makes sense to code with Apple's tools if the app is
going to be Apple Store ready.
OTOH, I don't view the mac as an "Apple" thing. My mac is a *nix
clone (freeBSD variant) which is a stable platform for Python coding and
debug|test. I won't be using Swift; however, I will be using IDLE.
JFTR, Apple should have adopted Python3, IMHO.
