Sorry, this just isn’t working for me. I’ve installed Python 3; I’ve
reinstalled PyObjC using pip; and I’m still getting syntax errors when I run
the script.
line 177, in createMyOperatorTable
Quartz.CGPDFOperatorTableSetCallback(myTable, b"Do", myOperator_Do)
ValueError: depythonifying 'pointer', got 'bytes'
I get different errors, depending on which one of the many versions of the
script I download from the PyOBjC Apple open source depository.
Thanks
Ben
