[Pyobjc-dev] Object not being identified correctly?

[Sean G. <pr...@cf...>]

Hello all,

	I am using an NSOutlineView to display a hierarchy of data, so Cocoa 
asks for items, and then later gives them back to me, looking for the 
number of children, and "value" ("label") for the data, which it draws 
onto the UI.  My problem is that, when Cocoa gives the item back to me, 
the "in" test fails.  Take a look at the following code "snippet," and 
its results:

     def outlineView_isItemExpandable_( self, outlineView, item ):
         NSLog( "isItemExpandable: %s" % ( item ) )

         NSLog( "item in self.profiles: %s" % ( item in self.profiles ) )

         for profile in self.profiles:
             NSLog( "%s" % ( profile ) )

Results:

2003-05-25 20:09:04.427 Bluebeard2[5819] isItemExpandable: 
<ServerInformation.ServerInformation instance at 0x8cfac0>
2003-05-25 20:09:04.429 Bluebeard2[5819] item in self.profiles: 0
2003-05-25 20:09:04.431 Bluebeard2[5819] 
<ServerInformation.ServerInformation instance at 0x8cfac0>

	As you can see, the objects share the same reference address.  
Performing similar actions in the Python interpreter works fine ("in" 
tests return True).  I've also tried, in the "for profile in profiles:" 
loop, "==" and "is" tests, which both return False.  Can anyone shed 
some light onto why this is happening?

Thanks,
	Sean
