I (and other people) have asked for this, but this isn't a very high priority for Apple (AFAIK). What I'd like to see in a future version of Xcode is a public plugin API (outright Python support would also be nice of course) and an tool for creating/maintaining project templates. > >> > - The next problem is in the code itself.

Or is >there another installer? Ah, now that you mention it: Xcode doesn't look at the shell environment, and that is the only thing that is patched. If you know you're way around Xcode this is fixable: the templates currrently run '/usr/bin/env python', that should be changed to '/Library/Frameworks/Versions/Current/bin/python' (or .../Versions/2.5/bin/python to ensure you get python 2.5). > >> It would be nice if that button worked, but I don't have time to fix >> this.
