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.
