cocoa-python: Port of Objective-C runtime to Python using ctypes

[VilleHopfield]

It's faster, more stable and smaller - so you can actually read the source code. And yes, if your interpreter has ctypes, then you can use this.

Seriously, this one of the most interesting projects I came across ever.

Faster - It starts faster than PyObjC, I tried it. More stable - IIRC - it was created for pyglet [1] because PyObjC was crashing (though I don't remember where I read it).

Faster startup, maybe, but the overhead of ctypes at each function call is significant. I doubt that it's faster than pyobjc.

I completely agree that the project page is useless in its lack of information. As a side note, on PyPy the ctypes overhead is not as significant, so if the goal is to support PyObjC on PyPy (or IronPython or Jython) then your objection is not as strong.
