>>> from ctypes import cdll
>>> from ctypes import util
>>> from rubicon.objc import ObjCClass, NSObject, objc_method

# Use ctypes to import a framework into the Python process
>>> cdll.LoadLibrary(util.find_library("Foundation"))

# Wrap an Objective-C class contained in the framework
>>> NSURL = ObjCClass("NSURL")

# Then instantiate the Objective-C class, using the API
# that is exposed through Objective-C. The Python method name
# is the Objective-C method descriptor, up to the first colon.
# The first argument (if it exists) is passed in as is; subsequent
# arguments are passed in as keyword arguments. Properties can be
# accessed and modified directly. So, the equivalent of:
# NSURL *base = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://pybee.org"];
# NSURL *full = [NSURL URLWithString:@"contributing/" relativeToURL:base];
# NSLog(@"absoluteURL = %@", [full absoluteURL]);
# would be:
>>> base = NSURL.URLWithString("http://pybee.org/")
>>> full = NSURL.URLWithString("http://pybee.org/", relativeToURL=base)
>>> print("absoluteURL = %s" % full.absoluteURL)

# Sometimes, a method will use have the same keyword argument name twice.
# This is legal in Objective-C, but not in Python; in this case, you can
# explicitly name a descriptor by replacing colons with underscores:
>>> base = NSURL.URLWithString_("http://pybee.org/")
>>> full = NSURL.URLWithString_relativeToURL_("http://pybee.org/", base)
>>> print("absoluteURL = %s" % full.absoluteURL)

# To create a new Objective-C class, define a Python class that
# has the methods you want to define, decorate it to indicate that it
# should be exposed to the Objective-C runtime, and annotate it to
# describe the type of any arguments that aren't of type ``id``:
>>> class Handler(NSObject):
...     @objc_method
...     def initWithValue_(self, v: int):
...         self.value = v
...         return self
...
...     @objc_method
...     def pokeWithValue_(self, v: int) -> None:
...         print("Poking with", v)
...         print("Internal value is", self.value)

# Then use the class:
>>> my_handler = Handler.alloc().initWithValue_(42)
>>> my_handler.pokeWithValue_(37)
