Hi Dinu,

If you add
AppKit.NSApplicationLoad()
before calling f = NSFileWrapper.alloc().initWithPath_(path)
it will work.

It sets up all the housekeeping stuff you need, and you would then also be
able to call NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace() to use the methods in there.

This can be used for all Python scripts where you need window server
connections and stuff like that.
