Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Catergory Question ...

Okay, fantastic !

Would it be possible for you to give me an example of your last point
(re: manual annotations for some method you may use in a category) as
this is the only part I don't have any experience with ?

I am looking to add two methods to NSString, one which returns a
string and another which returns an array.

This would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
