from LaunchServices import LSFindApplicationForInfo
from Carbon.CoreFoundation import kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle

creator = 'ttxt'
path = LSFindApplicationForInfo(creator, None, None)[1] \
         .CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle).toPython()
print path

LaunchServices is due for inclusion in MacPython 2.4. Meantime, you 
can find it on SourceForge CVS or just use the pre-packaged copy from 
my site:
