Well, I guess it should be no surprise that Apple's bringing the App Store to the Mac. The question is, what does it mean for Python developers?

I saw a link to the app store guidelines here:

If these are accurate, then I suppose Python apps that are wrapped via py2app wouldn't automatically be excluded. Java apps, however, are specifically excluded. (There are howls of protest on Apple's Java-dev list.)

Of course, Apple isn't making the app store the only game in town, which is good. But as a developer of commercial desktop Mac apps in Python, I'm taking a careful look.
