I released the code under the GPL



Why GPL?



Why not?

That's as good an answer as any. I was just wondering. One reason to pick a MIT/BSD license (or even the PSF license) is that it is very unlikely that GPL-ed code will ever be included with Python itself.

Suggest something different.



- with minor modifications to the
code I think anyone should be able to create Spotlight Importers
using python (without depending on PyObjC)...




Is that a challenge? You cannot create importers using PyObjC at the moment.



Not at all. But feel free to take it as challenge if you wish. Pistols at dawn? ;-)

I chose not to use PyObjC because:

1: I started this before the PyObjC guys had officially released PyObjC for 10.4

2: I'm not an expert in PyObjC.

3: I wasn't sure how to bundle PyObjC with the importer without conflicting with PyObjC already on their machine (see #2)

4: It was pretty quick and easy even without PyObjC.

5: It was fun. ;-)
