But there's no pressing reason Python has to supply that bundle. You could build your own app using PyObjC to access the Cocoa GUI, using Python without a Python app bundle. The two things are logically separate, aren't they? You can have a framework build of Python without having a Python application bundle. I suspect that the default build of PyObjC assumes that Python is a framework build, too. But I don't know if you could build a non-framework Python and non-framework PyObjC, and use those together to write Python programs that could access Cocoa. I suspect you could, but I also suspect it would be a lot of work.
