Re: [Pyobjc-dev] PyObjcC class method swizzling

[Lukas P. | D. V. <lu...@dr...>]

Oh, right, that's a good idea.

Instance method or class method swizzling is basically the idea of  
replacing an existing
class/instance method implementation with your own implementation,  
however differently
from using categories, since the original implementation should be  
preserved
to later use it in your own implementation of the mehtod.

This allows you to add additional functionality to the original method  
implementation,
in my case for example to add a preferences pane to Mail.app which is  
otherwise not possible.

I hope this explains a little better what i'm looking for.

Thx for in advance for any help
