Give each radio button (a NSButtonCell) a tag, or just give them all 
meaningful titles.  Make an outlet for your NSMatrix of NSButtonCells 
(radio buttons).  To see which cells are selected you can do:

selectedCells = filter(lambda cell: cell.intValue() == 1, 
self.myRadioMatrix.cells())

and then you'd get the title or tag from your selected cells.
