"""HotKey.py
An example that shows how to use Carbon HotKeys from a PyObjC application,
and how to use an NSApplication subclass.
To build the demo program, run this line in Terminal.app:
$ python setup.py py2app -A
This creates a directory "dist" containing HotKey.app. (The
-A option causes the files to be symlinked to the .app bundle instead
of copied. This means you don't have to rebuild the app if you edit the
sources or nibs.)
