Hi all,
Thomas kindly stated that the trick is to call the method without further arguments: self._send(rcvname)
actually my statement is only half true:
self._send(rcvname) currently sends an empty list message to the rcvname receiver which is often interpreted but need not always be
the correct way would be self._send(rcvname,"bang",()) which is equivalent to a message with selector bang and no further arguments (empty tuple)
since the former notation self._send(rcvname) is also used with pyext outlets as self._outlet(outletnum) to send a bang, i corrected the behavior in the py/pyext SVN to indeed send a bang. However, this is not yet reflected in the binaries in circulation
