# This code was originally found @
# http://www.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13359&p=91992&hilit=pyobjc+growl
# It is (to the best of our knowledge) the work of user 'tooru' on the same
# website.
#
# I make no claim to this code, all I did was get it working with PyObjC on Lion
# reformatted it a bit and added some more verbose explanations of what the script
# does. To be honest, I haven't touched pyobjc in a couple years and I was amazed
# that it still works! Even more amazed that I was able to get this example working
# in about 20 minutes.
#
# Great job tooru!
#
# I have verified this code works with the following combination of
# packages / versions
#
# * OSX Lion 10.7.3
# * Python 2.7
# * Growl 1.3
# * Growl SDK 1.3.1

Inside the menu will be two options, 'Send a Grr!', and 'Quit'.
