Re: Python/pyobjC Apps on iPhone now a possibility?

Sure, I am learning Objective C already, but the syntax is really unfriendly after python. I think it really depends on the type of app you want to write. Anything held back by network delays or that sits around waiting for user input are perfectly acceptable target apps. If you need speed for som
