Re: [Pyobjc-dev] OK, I'm already stymied.

[Gary R. <gro...@tr...>]

OK, Ronald and bbum, thanks for the quick responses.

I was able to successfully

    import Foundation

so I guess my installation is OK after all.

But I suggest updating the Tutorial
(Documentation/PyObjC/tutorial/tutorial.html) so that it urges the user to
"import Foundation" rather than "import PyObjC" since the latter won't work.
I lost over an hour to that, and I'm on a race here to see how much I can
accomplish with PyObjC over the next few days -- that will determine whether
we use it for the project where considering!

But, your quick responses once I asked the question made a big difference.
Thanks again. Onward and upward!
