[Pyobjc-dev] Confusing crash that's fixed by adding NSBeep()!?!

[Scott H. <sco...@gm...>]

Sorry is this gets posted twice. I sent it out the other night, but never saw it show up on the list.

My goal was to make a simple demo program that has a NSView implemented in Python, a NSView implemented in ObjC and that demonstrates both languages calling each other all in one app. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Scott
