Xcode support syntax coloring for a lot languages, including fringe languages like Dylan. Someone seems to have overengeneered the syntax coloring system :-)

Hoo boy. Maybe I should go check if it also supports 'whitespace' or 'brain****' (you know, the language that's all + and - characters?).

I know off the language. Even intercal seems more useful ;-)

IMHO the WebKit story was hyped, but I must say I haven't checked out al details. At least WebKit is now a more transparent project.

I don't know how responsive Apple is. At least one Apple engeneer really likes Python, and there are rumored to be more :-). I'd guess that Python support is not high on the TODO list for Xcode and won't be until someone big (such as Adobe) starts pushing for it.

That makes sense, although I did hear the other day that "someone" inside Apple is in fact pushing for better Python usage/support, overall, in their various products/projects. Granted, this is hearsay, but it *was* in a channel that has some well-positioned Apple nerds =)

My feature request for this asks for opening up Xcode a little, that way we could write Python support ourselves. Someone who really wants to enhance Xcode won't be stopped by lack of API documentation. There are several 3th party plugins for Mail.app and that doesn't have a public API either.

Yea, 'class-dump' is useful in that regard =) Now if only I knew ObjC well enough to make good use of it...

Ronald

No need to use class-dump, just inject a Python interpreter and class browser. Both are examples shipped with PyObjC :-)

Jeff

Adding disclaimers like this to mail to a public mailinglist is a little silly :-). Luckily we're rather polite over here. Oh well, I've seen mail with two disclaimers like this, the first one in Dutch and then one in English.
