[Pyobjc-dev] NSFont.alloc() no more needed?

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Hi,

Something weird is going on... I often use code like this:

   from AppKit import NSFont
   f = NSFont.alloc().fontWithName_size_("Courier", 12)

which worked perfectly well until very recently, giving me now:

   AttributeError: 'NSFont' object has no attribute 'fontWithName_size_'

I'm getting this on PyObjC 1.1 a0 as well as on the CVS version.
But when moving to the following syntax things magically work
as they did before:

   f = NSFont.fontWithName_size_("Courier", 12)

The only possible explanation I can come up with is that I've
recompiled libffi inbetween. Is the alloc() no longer needed
or has libffi changed or has anybody else a good explanation?

Thanks,

Dinu
