PyObjC

The /PyObjC project aims to provide a bridge between the Python and Objective-C programming languages. The bridge is intended to be fully bidirectional, allowing the Python programmer to take full advantage of the power provided by various Objective-C based toolkits and the Objective-C programmer transparent access to Python based functionality. What this really means is that you can write full fledged "Cocoa" applications in pure Python.

Currently developed by RonaldOussoren, BillBumgarner, SteveMajewski, JustVanRossum, JackJansen, and others.
