Updating Application Title

[SamuelWeiss]

Sorry if this is a really silly question, but I'm looking to write a little application that periodically updates it's title in the status bar. The App.title(self, new_title) function appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, however I can't get it to work right. Here is a tiny mockup of my code:

import rumps

class AwesomeStatusBarApp(rumps.App):
    def __init__(self):
        super(AwesomeStatusBarApp, self).__init__("Awesome App")
        self.menu = ["updating"]

    @rumps.timer(1)
    def sayhi(self, _):
        super(AwesomeStatusBarApp, self).title(self,"Hi")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    AwesomeStatusBarApp().run()

However whenever I run this code I get the following error:

2014-06-17 11:27:24.676 Python[87027:1107] <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Which is odd. The super call in the init function appears to work fine, however it gets some sort of NoneType error when I try and call it in a function. Is this an error? is there something more subtle going on here that I've messed up?

Hi Samuel,

Rewrite sayhi method like this,

self.title = "Hi"
