Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Failed to run the HotKey Example

[Jake W. <del...@gm...>]

I just ran this:

python -c "import Cocoa; print(Cocoa.__file__)"

and I got:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pyobjc_framework_Cocoa-2.5.1-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/AppKit/_AppKit.so

Thanks for the analysis regarding the PyQT question. As long as the hotkey
registration code doesn't rely on NSApplication and can co-exist with PyQT,
it should work. I will do more investigation on this later.

Cheers,
Jake
