How to use GetLine?

There's something weird with GetLine. Here's a short demonstration:
```
import pn, scintilla
from pypn.decorators import script
@script("test")
def f():
    sci = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
    s = ''
    ln = sci.GetLine(0, s)
    pn.AddOutput(s)
    pn.AddOutput(str(len(s)))
```
Executing the script on itself first prints the import line and its EOL characters but len(s) is zero. It's like s is still an empty string except when I print it. Is that even the correct way to use GetLine or have I misunderstood the second parameter?

Sorry, I missed this one somehow. I just fixed this for the next PyPN build so you can now do this:

sci = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
ln = sci.GetLine(0)
pn.AddOutput(ln)
pn.AddOutput(str(len(ln)))

I also fixed up GetCurLine() so that it now returns the two values Scintilla gives back to C code:

#ln[0] is the line text
#ln[1] is the cursor position within the line
ln = sci.GetCurLine()
pn.AddOutput(ln[0])
pn.AddOutput(str(ln[1]))
