That's a bug, but luckily an easy to solve one. I've just checked in a 
fixed for this. A quick fix would be to change 
objc/_FoundationSignatures.py. Look for 
'initWithPath:documentAttributes:' and add '@@:' at the start of the 
signature string (currently starting with '8').

Your code still won't work with that version: The last argument of the 
method is an output parameter, those are not present in the python 
argument list. The last call should be:

	foo, documentAttributes = foo.initWithPath_documentAttributes_('aFile')
