ObjCClass('SUIViewController') does not work anymore in Pythonista beta but ...

[cvp]

In Pythonista beta, the SUIViewController class does not exist anymore in objc_util but it has been replaced by SUIViewController_PY3.

For instance, this little script works

# UIReferenceLibraryViewController
# 	display definition of a word from system dictionaries
#		nb: system display is allowed but not to get the result...
from objc_util import *
import ui

uiview = ui.View()
uiview.frame = (0,0,300,300)
uiview.present('sheet')

objc_uiview = ObjCInstance(uiview)

SUIViewController = ObjCClass('SUIViewController_PY3')
vc = SUIViewController.viewControllerForView_(objc_uiview)	

@on_main_thread
def m():
	UIReferenceLibraryViewController = ObjCClass('UIReferenceLibraryViewController').alloc().initWithTerm_('bonjour')
	UIReferenceLibraryViewController.setModalPresentationStyle_(3) 
	vc.presentViewController_animated_completion_(UIReferenceLibraryViewController, True, None)#handler_block)

m()

Note also that the m def code now needs to be run in main thread, what was not needed before.

@ihf in outline.py, replace

SUIViewController = ObjCClass('SUIViewController')

By

SUIViewController = ObjCClass('SUIViewController_PY3')

and the script will go a little bit further

That will be in the future next version V01.37 when all will be ok, thus, sincerely, unknown target date

@cvp FWIW, I think the PY3 versions were available in the last version. So that code should also be backwards compatible.

It is probable but the class name without _PY3 has disappeared only from the beta
