NSWindow

Hello,
I'm starting with PyObjC and am having some trouble creating windows
I am not a beginner at either python or cocoa by the way.

Here is what i am trying (both with macports python 2.6 and builtin python 2.6) on 10.6.8

from AppKit import *
a=NSWindow.alloc().init()

simply this returns an error:

Wed Jun 29 16:23:09 TCi7.local python[10060] <Error>: kCGErrorInvalidConnection: CGSGetCurrentCursorLocation: Invalid connection
Wed Jun 29 16:23:09 TCi7.local python[10060] <Error>: kCGErrorInvalidConnection: CGSNewWindowWithOpaqueShape: Invalid connection
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
objc.error: NSInternalInconsistencyException - Error (1002) creating CGSWindow


Would anyone have any recommendations?
T.
