Re: [Pyobjc-dev] NSTableView

Bob,

Thanks for your amazingly fast response.

Right now I have a table, dataResults, that I'd like to populate with a 
list of lists:
results = [['string 1', 0.00],['string 2', 1.25],['string 3', 2.75]]

Since I'm generating the data, it wouldn't be a problem to use a 
dictionary:
results = [{"Column 1":"string 1","Column 2":0.00},{"Column 1":"string 
2","Column 2":1.25},{"Column 1":"string 3","Column 2":2.75}]

I'd like to re-write such that the list holds objects to which I can 
assign values. As in:

class Obj(object):
	def setValueOne(self, valueOne):
		self.__valueOne = valueOne
...

obj = Obj()
self.obj.setValueOne(self, valueOne)
self.results.append(obj)

but, I don't _have_ to do it this way. Since I'm still quite a newbie, 
you may be able to advise me as the the advantages/disadvantages of 
each route.

I found notes from your presentation online, so I did a little reading 
about NSArrayControllers. IF I go this route, I think I'd need a little 
help setting up the bindings in Interface Builder in addition to some 
controller code.

Thanks for any help.
