Since my impression is the XCode 'philosophy' to design it as a tool 'shell' using scripting to leverage command-line tools. I suspect one can go into the Python Xcode templates and modify the scripts. They are not always easy to locate through the IDE though there may be more straight-forward ways (for a UNIX developer anyway) to access and modify them. I'll take a look at this at some point, but I have not since the only part of the Xcode tool chain I use for Python/ObjC development is Interface Builder. XCode can integrate Ant for Java builds so I would think one can do it for. If worse came to worse, I suppose you could write a script to set the the Path in a shell and export it or in the OSX plist, , invoke XCode from the command line, 'do your business', and then reset everything if necessary with another script. A bit of a hack, but perhaps it could be made fairly painless. Question for the group: if I modify the environment through os.environ ['PATH'], will Finder applications pick that up or is it just for the shell? Yes I need to RTFM and try it, but this is a stream-of- consciousness email over lunch and I have a full plate for this afternoon. Besides, what's a community for anyway? ;-) Daniel "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.
