I was curious if there were any osx-specific module repositories on the internet, or if anyone had any specific projects they were working on.
carry on.

One of my flatmates at Uni was enthusiastic about Python. Care to explain to me what's so nice about it?

All words are lies. Including these ones.

"Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, DOS, OS/2, Mac, Amiga... "
Basically it's a completely object oriented programming language that has cross platform support.

This seems one of the more interesting elements of Python is the integration with windowing toolkits. Is there anyone working on a native OS X approach to this? I'm thinking of something like Applescript Studio where Cocoa runs the GUI and the logic is in Python. If not that smooth of integration, how about a library with hooks into all this like PyGTK for Gnome (http://www.daa.com.au/~james/pygtk/) or PyKDE for KDE (http://www.thekompany.com/projects/pykde/)
I'm a Java server-side programmer so my first instinct on writing apps is to learn Swing and leverage my existing java experience. So far the results are not very mac-like. If there were something like Applescript Studio that automatically hooked the GUI into the code for either Java or Python I'd be all over it.
