Given the description, it would be trivial to write an Automator Action in PyObjC 1.2+ using the py2app plug-in bundle support.
Cool. How hard would it be to provide casual users a more Pythonic, easy-to-use API over part or all of that, you think? Or would it be more sensible to wait for Python's OSA support to get to the level where it could use the Studio API?
Well, you need to write one class and implement one particular function that returns a list. I don't really see what you could do to make it significantly easier to use beyond creating a template for the 5 or 6 lines of boilerplate.
The Objective-C API is going to be faster and richer anyway, I don't see a reason to care about the OSA interface for Automator in this context.
An Xcode template would be nice as well; even if only for marketing's sake. Would that be a big job?
Not particularly.
