That should be:

 >>> from Foundation import *
 >>> u = NSURL.alloc().initWithString_('http://pyobjc.sf.net')

But the incorrect form shouldn't bus error, either...

Do you mean that 'window' is an outlet of type NSWindow?

The error message indicates that whatever is found via the '.window' is 
a method, not a reference to a window object.

So, MyAppController.window().isMainWindow() might "just work", but I'm 
still confused.   What is MyWindowController?   The naming implies that 
it is a class of some kind...
