[issue15116] remove out-of-date Mac application scripting documentation
New submission from hhas <hhas@users.sourceforge.net>: 1. The entire '4.6. Application Scripting' section should be deleted from the following Python 2 & 3 pages as appscript (and PyOSA) is no longer developed or supported and its use is not recommended for new projects (http://appscript.sourceforge.net/status.html): http://docs.python.org/using/mac.html#application-scripting http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/using/mac.html#application-scripting http://docs.python.org/dev/using/mac.html#application-scripting 2. The sentence 'For more up-to-date implementation of AppleScript support for Python, see the third-party py-appscript project: <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/appscript/>' should be deleted from the following Python 2 page: http://docs.python.org/library/macosa.html ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 163282 nosy: docs@python, hhas priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: remove out-of-date Mac application scripting documentation versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15116> _______________________________________
Ned Deily <nad@acm.org> added the comment: The entire "Using Macintosh" section of the documentation set is in need of an update. I plan to have that done for 3.3 release and the next releases of 3.2.x and 2.7.x. The 2.6 and 3.1 releases are in security fix mode only, prior to their retirement, and no longer receive doc or bug fix updates. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> ned.deily nosy: +ned.deily versions: -Python 2.6, Python 3.1, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15116> _______________________________________
hhas <hhas@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: @Ned: The whole page has been needing updated for years, but no-one's ever quite managed to complete it. In that light, might I suggest a two-step approach? 1. Edit the existing text now to remove all the obsolete info (e.g. section 4.1.2. is also defunct) and check in those changes before end of this month. 2. Develop whatever shiny new content you think is needed at your leisure. That way, if step 2 takes longer than expected (and creating new material always does), at least the current errors won't appear in the next release. The update to the OSA page can also be done immediately, as that's just a straight text deletion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15116> _______________________________________
