This is an old thread, (and an old topic) but my

Scanning the archives, I see Jack and Just have talked
about a PyObjC-based python ide since 2002.  I've
really anxious to see how they are coming along.

I've used PyOXIDE, and am suitably impressed, but it
is still way too crashy for daily use.  There are some
promising wx-based IDEs which run fine (PyPE,
PythonCard Editor, SPE), but none include a debugger,
and most look just a little "off" .

So, what news?


While PyOXIDE has been pretty quiet recently, I just reached a _major_ milestone (which will hopefully be released this week). I created a new project, added the example CurrencyConverter.py and nib & string files to it, and told it to run - and it build a nice little stand-alone app, and ran like expected (yes, this is all new, but this isn't the interesting part).


And then I turned on debugging. Hit run again, and there was the debugger with source to CurrencyConverter.py staring me in the face. Set a breakpoint in convert_, hit run, switched to the app, pressed the "Convert" button, and popped back to PyOXIDE, and there we were, in convert_, just like expected. Stepped a few times (to get the total value), changed it to 99, and then continued - and sure enough, back in CurrencyConverter we get a result of 2 * 3 = 99. (And yes, the console works so you can execute arbitrary code within the client environment while stopped between steps or at a break point)

So "proof of example" source code debugging of bundled PyObjC app projects has been reached!
