I'm getting quite a different error:

[[snipped earlier parts of traceback]]
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-pa
ckages/GUI/Cocoa/Applications.py", line 184, in init_application_name
    ns_info['CFBundleName'] = GApplications.application_name
TypeError: object does not support item assignment

That's when I try (after installing PyGUI):

helen:~/Desktop/PyGUI-1.6/Demos alex$ python blobedit.py 

MacOSX, XCode, Python and PyObjC all at the latest binary-released
levels, I believe (10.4.5, 2.2, 2.4.1, 1.3.6 respectively).
