[Pythonmac-SIG] PyObjC - Apple sample code

[Ben Byram-Wigfield]

I tried the repository browser there, and the version of parse_page_contents.py still doesn’t work for me. I’m using the latest downloaded versions of python 2.7 and PyObjC. I also tried using the default OS X versions.
The errors are in the attached file.

Many thanks
