PyobjC : Application throwing an error if we shutdown Mac

Question

I am running a simple pyobj c app. However, if I try to shutdown the mac while the app is running, it does not close gracefully like the other apps. I noticed that if I comment out the line AppHelper.runEventLoop() , there is no issue. How do I get the eventloop to terminate gracefully in case the user tries to restart/shutdown the Mac before quitting the application.

Answer 1

The event loop should self terminate when the application has been asked to terminate (provided something isnt blocking the "terminate" request).

Your problem certainly has nothing to do with AppHelper.runEventLoop() the documentation clearly states that this does not return, unless an exception is thrown.

You must have something setup in place that is blocking the application from terminating. (unsaved document?, modal window?)
