Re: [Pyobjc-dev] How to get NSDoc subclass's window outlet?

[<bb...@ma...>]

Oh!  You are absolutely correct.  I apologize -- I didn't read the docs 
correctly.

It doesn't work because it shouldn't. :-)

> self.windowControllers()[0].window() works though.

Is the correct way to go about it, ugly though it is.

However, if you need direct access to the window, it is likely that 
there is an alternative design pattern that may be a bit more clean.
