- The ObjC package provides the glue needed to interface the Python
- interpreter with the Objective-C language.
-
- My effort went in two direction: first of all, let the user use a
- syntax similar to the Objective-C native one: x.alloc().init() is
- the Python way of doing [[x alloc] init]; secondly, the module should
- support the GNU Objective-C runtime as well as the NeXTSTEP one.
- The first is there, the second... almost: it needs to be tested,
- since my current situation does not let me try it.
-
- The current implementation has bugs, the major of them in the handling
- of methods returning big structures by value. See Misc/BUGS.PyObjC.
-
- You can find visible user changes in Misc/NEWS.PyObjC. For more
- details, consult Misc/ChangeLog.PyObjC.
-
- For build instructions, read Misc/INSTALL.PyObjC. It contains instruction
- to build the manual section too.
-
- The package comes with some examples/demos: you can find them in the
- Demo/ObjC directory.
-
-
- I should say "Grazie" to many persons that made this possible, but to
- some in particular:
-
- Guido van Rossum <guido@CNRI.Reston.VA.US>:
- Long list of motivation omitted ;-)
-
- Thomas Breuel <tmb@best.com>:
- He first inspired me with good ideas.
-
- Ted Horst <ted_horst@il.us.swissbank.com>:
- His own ObjC module and kind comments helped me a lot.
-
- Bill Bumgarner <bbum@friday.com>:
- He contribuited the standalone packaging setup, good comments and
- his own implementation of the Streams and Pasteboards support. He
- maintains also several Python-related packages for NeXTSTEP: see
- <ftp://ftp.thoughtport.net/pub/next/lang>.
-
- and of course to the entire ObjC-SIG community.
