The exception you're getting (``TypeError('cannot change a method')``) is raised when you try to set an instance attribute with the same name as a method, for example:
:>>> from Cocoa import NSObject
:>>> o = NSObject.alloc().init()
:>>> o.description = 42
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: cannot change a method
This means that your document class problably has an attribute that has the same name as a method that is new in OSX 10.9.
BTW. Have you tried ``objc.setVerbose(1)``? That should print more information when converting exceptions from Python to ObjC. I guess I should also change the code that raises the exception to include more information (such as the name of the attribute).
