PyObjC 1.0b1 Released

The improvements include: Improved performance and stability, Better tutorials and examples, Initial support for MacOS X 10.1, Support for the WebKit framework, Write plugin bundles in Python (requires Python 2.3) [Studio Log]

I've been playing around with the 0.9 release of PyObjC. It's a very promising project badly in need of better documentation. I've really been getting into Python lately and have been using it heavily with my Cocoa projects. I'd love to see Python included by Apple as a full peer with Objective C and Java for Cocoa applications. It would make Cocoa development even easier then it already it. Applescript Studio is nice, but Applescript is still not a language that I feel comfortable with and the way it is integrated with Cocoa means there are quite a few things you can't do with Applescript. I've found it easier to just stick with Objective C. The way PyObjC is being integrated it is functionally equivalent to Objective C and should bring all the power along with the ease of a scripting language.
