Quicksilver

It's possible to create Quicksilver plug-ins using PyObjC and py2app -- for detailed information on how to do this, see this section of the Quicksilver online documentation.

The following is a list of some PyObjC plug-ins. (Note that all PyObjC plug-ins depend on the installation of the PyObjC Support plug-in for operation.)

Warning: I no longer actively maintain non-Universal Binary versions of PyObjC plug-ins (note: that means those referred to on this page). In fact, in my local environment, I only use the Universal Binary development versions. The ride is a bit bumpy (requires manual operation) when using those, but that's what I'd recommend at this point.

• Atom Actions is for posting via the Atom API (e.g. to Blogger or certain versions of MovableType). Note that this plug-in also requires the Twisted Support plug-in.
• Cyberduck Module is for access to Cyberduck bookmarks.
• Head And Tail Actions is for quickly examining the beginning or end of some files -- basically it makes use of the head and tail UNIX commands.
• iTerm Module is like the Terminal Module, only it's for iTerm.
• OMC Module provides limited ability to work with some OnMyCommand commands.
• PyCalc Module is like the Calculator plug-in, but with a different syntax and not quite the same abilities.
• Timer Action is for setting timers and timed triggers.
• Unit Conversion Module for quick unit conversions -- basically a wrapper around the UNIX units command (optionally, can use the GNU units command).

Each plug-in comes with detailed documentation available via the Plug-ins pane of Quicksilver's Preferences window (Note that the available screenshots may be a bit dated -- to see documentation, select a plug-in's corresponding row and click on the 'i' icon located at the bottom right of the preferences window -- a 'drawer' should appear containing relevant documentation).
