You are writing a comment about An Epic Introduction to PyObjC and Cocoa, here is a quick summary:

PyObjC is one of the most helpful projects I have ever used, but a number of individuals have been having trouble getting started with PyObjC on Leopard because the documentation is in a bit of a disarray. In particular, there didn't seem to be a comprehensive tutorial that could introduce a newcomer to all the important aspects of PyobjC, and that was completely up to date. Here is my attempt to fill that void. With a vengeance.

Very nice introduction! You might want to add a warning about the "Tab key inserts tab, not spaces" setting in the XCode prefs (Indentation panel). The template files seem to use spaces for indentation, so without changing this preference, the code we type in won't match, and (as I understand it) Python will have a conniption fit.

(Fortunately I picked this tidbit up from another site earlier today, and so avoided what could have been a very frustrating start.)
