Pure Python in Xcode?

Question

Could anyone tell me how to use pure Python without Cocoa support in Xcode? I can only find the Cocoa-Python template on the Internet.

Thanks in advance.

If you are just trying to write pure Python command line tools, using Xcode is like using a big sledge hammer to hit a tiny nail, in other words, probably not the best tool for the job. There are some old posts out there about how to set up a pure Python Xcode project, like this one, but, in the end, you might be better off using an editor you're already familiar with, like emacs, or, if you don't mind spending a little bit of money, TextMate, all along with a free vcs like mercurial or git. Or take a look in MacPorts for those and other options.
