Great!

The first thing that needs to be done is to adjust all the 'import'
statements. They need to look something like one of the following 
formats ...

import PythonCAD.Generic.foo

or

from PythonCAD.Generic import foo

Replace 'foo' above with the appropriate module, i.e point, segment,
etc.

Part of the reason the PyObjC port broke was the PythonCAD files were
moved into a 'PythonCAD' subdirectory. This move was done to make
PythonCAD be a better neighbor with other Python software that a user
could install, such as Zope. By moving the files into a 'PythonCAD'
subdirectory, the likelyhood of accidentally bringing in a PythonCAD
module went down to essentially zero.

Once all the 'import' statements have been adjusted, the next step will
be fixing up the connect() messages so the PyObjC front-end will be
correctly tied into the interface neutral back end. Let me know when you
can start trying that and I'll explain what needs to be done.

Thanks for looking at the Cocoa/PyObjC front end!
