I'm not a python guy, but i know that pyobjc bridges the cocoa apis direct to python...and that this bridge actually will be shipping by default on the system with 10.5. right now, you bundle it if you wish to use it.
I'm glad to hear that it does have this. Do you have a link to some documentation about this system. I can always write a python extension to use cocoa, or ship pyobjc with libprs500.
