[Pyobjc-dev] My second roadblock

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

I'm working through tutorial.html.

I've gone through the Cocoa tutorial steps, and have a nib file that looks
like the appropriate CurrencyConverter application, and all the text fields
behave properly, etc.

At this point my MainMenu.nib directoty looks like step3-MainMenu.nib, as
the tutorial says it shoud.

The next step in the tutorial says:

>  4. Create the skeleton Python script by running NibClassBuilder as a tool.
> When invoked as a main program from the command line NibClassBuilder will
> parse the NIB file and create a skeleton module for you. Invoke it as follows
> (from the src directory):
> 
> $ python $PYLIB/site-packages/PyObjC/PyObjCTools/NibClassBuilder.py \
>       MainMenu.nib > CurrencyConverter.py
> 
>     The result of this can be seen in step4-CurrencyConverter.py.

This step seemed to execute correctly, but my CurrencyConverter.py looks
very different from step4-CurrencyConverter.py. Here is what it looks like:

> from PyObjCTools import NibClassBuilder, AppHelper
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> if __name__ == "__main__":
>   AppHelper.runEventLoop()

That's the entire contents of the file. Lots of stuff seems to be missing.

I have no idea why. As far as I can tell, I am doing the tutorial
instructions exactly as described, and CurrencyConverter.py was in fact
generated, but it apparently isn't correct.

Any ideas?
