Noted. I am at the moment trying TextWrangler for editing Python. May be I will revert to Idle. [rant] It is a shame, though. Xcode is a great python environment, as far as my experience goes. It would be far more useful if it were open source. [/rant] > > - The next problem is in the code itself.

I did find the error, though, and it is an xcode peculiarity/bug. Namely, when you create a new Python class file in xcode it doesn't get added to "Classes" in the xcode project.

I have installed the Python 2.5 for OS X from python.org. And I have this now ================== muhammad-alkarouris-computer:~ malkarouri$ which python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python muhammad-alkarouris-computer:~ malkarouri$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/python lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 68 Oct 15 06:13 /usr/local/bin/python -> ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python muhammad-alkarouris-computer:~ malkarouri$ echo $PATH /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current muhammad-alkarouris-computer:~ malkarouri$ cat .bash_profile # Setting PATH for MacPython 2.5 # The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}" export PATH muhammad-alkarouris-computer:~ malkarouri$ ================== So, the installer did install /usr/local/bin/python. Through .bash_profile, python2.5 is the default for my shell, while python2.3 is the default for everything else. This is fine by me. I assume that is the right approach.

Keep up the good work. For now, PyObjC 1.4 source installation for both Python 2.5 and Python 2.3 are working fine.
