[Pythonmac-SIG] Problems with appscript

[James Reese]

Hi,

I'm having several problems with appscript. I'm running OS X 10.5.7  
with all the latest updates, and I've installed the latest release  
using easy_install:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb  6 2009, 19:02:12)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import appscript
 >>> appscript.__version__
'0.19.0'

I've downloaded the sample scripts, and when I try to run  
AB_list_people_with_emails.py, I get this:

 > ./AB_list_people_with_emails.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./AB_list_people_with_emails.py", line 9, in <module>
    for name, emails in zip(peopleref.name.get(),  
peopleref.emails.value.get()):
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/appscript-0.19.0-py2.5- 
macosx-10.5-i386.egg/appscript/reference.py", line 513, in __call__
appscript.reference.CommandError: Command failed:
		OSERROR: -1708
		MESSAGE: Application could not handle this command.
		COMMAND: app(u'/Applications/Address Book.app').people[its.emails !=  
[]].name.get()


I'm also having problems with the ASDictionary program. Get Info says  
the version is 0.11.2. When I try to run it, it crashes, and these  
messages appear in the console log:
