OS X Auditor - Hackdot

This looks nice but there are a ton of issues around pyobjc. I've never been able to successfully install it on 10.9.

This is because you don't need to. Especially for this particular script.

If you're using the natively included python, pyobjc comes free.

As soon as I saw that mentioned in the documentation, I knew this project was going to have issues.

I'm familiar with python bridges at all - how would someone transition something with pyobjc as a dependency to the native alternative you mention?

You misunderstand.

OS X has shipped with python for quite some time.

In addition, OS X python started including a build of pyobjc since OS X 10.5

You literally can fire up python from the terminal on OS X 10.5 and later and type: import Foundation and it will "just work".

No additional installs required.
