I forget to add self to the 'method' that's why it failed.  It does in
fact get called when the method is defined properly :)


I modified argv_emulation.py from the py2app package.
Added an event handler for the GetURL to extract the url and append to
sys.argv.  The code was based on the existing handler for OpenDocuments
event and the snippet that 'has' posted (changed typeUTF8Text to
typeWildCard as typeUTF8Text didn't exist on my system).

Here is the diff.

k9m:bootstrap $ diff argv_emulation.py.orig argv_emulation.py
10c10,11
<         kAEOpenDocuments, keyDirectObject, typeAEList, typeAlias

Should I submit this as a patch somewhere ???

Thanks, Brendan.
