Ahhh, it's good to see that that was just a case of me being stupid 
(with more practice with pyobjc I expect that sort of thing will become 
blatantly obvious to me) ;-)

Now I'm really confused.  I tried your trick of invoking 
MyAppController.window as a method instead of a variable and that seems 
to have worked.

MyAppController is a class that I've defined in python and is the 
File's Owner in the nib that constructs the particular window at issue 
here (I probably confused you with the code fragment above since the 
fragment should use an instance, not the class).  That controller 
specifies, among others, and outlet named window, which is connected to 
the NSWindow instance in the nib.  Which is why I would have thought 
that I'd use something like: 
myAppControllerInstance.window.isMainWindow() just like I use in other 
places myAppControllerInstance.textField.stringValue().  So why is 
window suddenly a method?  (since 
myAppControllerInstance.window().isMainWindow() works where I would 
have expected an error)

Thanks!
