[Pyobjc-dev] IB question

[Michael E. <men...@ka...>]

Hi -

I'm testing out PyObjC and have some problems (or more likely 
misunderstandings) when trying to use IB to build a UI.

I took the Cocoa-Python application template from CVS (did a pyobjc 
build from CVS as well).  I change the MyAppDelegate file to add a 
method like this:

	def sayGoodbyeAction_(self, sender):
		print "goodbye"
		

I then went into Interface BUilder and added a sayGoodbyeAction: action 
to the class and instantiated it and wired up the buttons, text field 
and delegate.  WHen I rebuild the application, the button I  added to 
the sample window doesn't work yet the button that comes with the 
template does work.   Well that's not true, sometimes my added 
button/method combination works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've triple 
checked that everything is wired up correctly and it still doesn't 
function.  At one point I thought I had some bizarre spacing issue so I 
copied the sayHelloAction method and pasted it and changed the method 
body and method name and then it worked.  then I tried adding another 
method and everything stopped working.

Is there some bit of weirdness that I should be aware of when using IB 
with PyObjC?

I have the October 2002 developer tools update and OS X 10.2.3.

Thanks for any guidance
