Category: Macintosh Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: has (hhas) Assigned to: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Summary: Improving MacPython's IAC support

Initial Comment: While usable, MacPython's high-level Apple event-based inter- application communication (IAC) support is not as good as it could be. As a first step to overhauling it, I'd like to suggest replacing the aepack.py, aetools.py, aetypes.py and gensuitemodule.py modules with appscript, a new MacPython- Apple Event Manager bridge [c/o yrs truly] submitted here for your consideration:

(Note: appscript development is ongoing as of 3/14/04. Assuming provisional acceptance, some discussion of Things To Be Done Before It's Included will be needed; the MacPython SIG might be a good place for this.)
