[Pyobjc-dev] working code examples ?

[Steven D. M. <sd...@mi...>]

BTW: Does anyone have any examples of code that actually works
under Mac OSX ?

I can get a window with a button to pop up (starting from some
example code from one of the older snapshots on codefab.com --
LBW.py  -- "little button window"  ) but none of the "application"
stuff works -- i.e. I can't get it to quit from the button.

BTW: a few notes for those trying to get started:


    import ObjC

    rt = ObjC.runtime

# You need to create an autorelease pool to avoid all of those annoying
#  'no pool -- just leaking' warning messages:

    POOL = rt.NSAutoreleasePool
    p = POOL()

# and if you want to access AppKit classes from the runtime,
# you have to load that bundle:
    rt.NSBundle.bundleWithPath_('/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework').load()



... and if you're testing out some code and actually want to see what
happens to your window while you're in the python interpreter in a
terminal.app window, you can make your AppKit window a floating window
with setLevel:

    win.setLevel_ (3)
