[Pyobjc-dev] Spotty luck with demos

[Jim C. <ji...@ma...>]

I'm trying to figure out if I should be using PyObjC instead of
wxPython for Mac apps...  but I'm having trouble getting started.  In
the demo files, I'm able to run Grady, and ClassBrowser but not
OpenGLDemo, which fails with the error, "(ArgumentError: argument 3
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: wrong type)  and when I try DotView,
the app immediately quits without ever showing.

I'm on SnowLeopard on a 64 bit macbook (but running 32 bit everything)
using a Framework install of Python 2.6. I installed PyObjC=2.2 using
easy_install, and py2app 0.3.6.  I do have pyOpenGL installed, and can
run wxPython OpenGL apps.

I'm completely impressed with Miro, which uses PyObjC to embed VLC,
and has a decent startup time, and generally works like a charm... but
can't seem to find the path to writing similar apps myself.  What are
the best resources for getting started?

Thanks,
-Jim
