If you’ve tried to create a cocoa-python XCode project in Snow Leopard, you’ve probably realised that the templates for creating Python projects in XCode have not been included. The reason given for removing the Python (and Ruby) project templates from XCode was that the templates were changing faster than XCode updated, therefore they would become quickly outdated. The Cocoa-Python bridge however, is still fully supported, despite the missing templates. Python developers are now expected to obtain the templates directly from the PyObjC project site (pyobjc.sourceforge.net) and install them themselves. Having done that myself, so I thought I’d write a quick step by step guide that anybody can follow.

It seems that Jaunty doesn’t deal very well with automatically partitioning a disk that already has another linux installation on it. I tried installing it on a PC with Windows and Fedora under the assumption that it would wipe Fedora and install itself in its place. Instead what it did was to resize the Windows partition without asking me and create its partitions with a total of about 3GB available. By the time it finished installing there were only 87mb left free. I’m not exactly sure what it was trying to do by doing that! If it was trying to preserve the Fedora partitions by doing that, well it certainly failed because all the Fedora partitions were wiped and appeared as one big completely unused partition. Bizarre…

I’ve just found that I have been awarded an AUC (Apple University Consortium) student scholarship to attend WWDC in June! I’ve been watching the WWDC keynotes for many years now wishing I was there and now I will actually get to go finally. I can’t wait! I also have never been to the US before, so it should be a very interesting trip.
