What if your app uses Python to perform IO? What if you wrote your code using PyObjC? Is there any way to sandbox that, or are you out of the Mac App Store for good?

That's a very good question. I use Python a lot and I combine it with C++ and Objective-C to build a very complex application. While it looks like a regular app and behaves like one, underneath it starts out as a Python interpreter that runs a script and loads compiled libraries. It's a model that works extremely well and I hope it continues to "just work". Sure, it's unconventional and I'd understand if Apple didn't expect most things to work this way, but I hope they don't just break it completely for me.

  It should work just like for Objective-C applications, it isn't implemented in Cocoa but at a kernel level. The sandbox has been around since Tiger (or at least Leopard) and with a proper configuration it works fine with Ruby/Python.
