Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Exceptions on calling super

[Dirk S. <dir...@ma...>]

More news from the working around front:

Apparently something in BridgeSupport changed in Snow Leopard, with  
the effect that you can no longer call unbound instance methods by  
passing in the instance as the first variable:

on Leopard:

> >>> NSObject.init()
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> TypeError: Missing argument: self


on Snow Leopard:

> >>> NSObject.init(someInstance)
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> TypeError: Need 0 arguments, got 1

Calling these the other way around works.

So quick heads up to anyone following this thread: My workaround was  
flawed.  Installing pyobjc from trunk on Python 2.6.2 now, as "import  
objc" seems to work on that. (no _PyType_Modified errors)
