Installing PyObjC on Enthought python and Canopy

I want to access some of the PyObjC routines using Enthought Python 7.3-2 (32 bit, OS X 10.8.3)

When I run the enpkg installer from the command line, I get a fair way through the install and then:

Error: could not resolve "pyobjc_framework_inputmethodkit" required by "pyobjc-2.3-1.egg"

So I tried Canopy 1.0 (64 bit, OS X, still a bit flakey) using the GUI package installer and I see the same message:

Action: install pyobjc-2.3-1.egg The package manager has encountered error Error: could not resolve "pyobjc_framework_inputmethodkit" required by "pyobjc-2.3-1.egg"

So it appears to be generic to Enthought python.

I'm assuming it's a problem with OS X 10.8.3 but does anyone know how to install PyObjC on Enthought python?

Thanks for the report.

Pyobjc is in Enthought's PyPI mirror rather than in the main Canopy/EPD repository. You can see this from the PyPI logo in package manager, or from enpkg -s pyobc at the command line. We are aware that our PyPI mirror is quite out of date; automating this is on our to-do list but will come after other more pressing improvements to our build and deployment system.

You should be able to install a newer version of pyobjc following these guidelines: Installing external packages into Canopy Python.
