Summary: Python not handling cText

Initial Comment:
I have the following AppleScript which I have also converted 
to Python:

tell application "CodeWarrior IDE"
    activate
    open file file1
    disassemble file file2
    set xText to (get text of document 1)
end tell

I had some difficulty converting the last command into 
Python, but the below should work (or so I have been told):

import CodeWarrior, time

cw = CodeWarrior.CodeWarrior(start=1)
time.sleep(5)
cw.activate()
cw.open(file1)
cw.disassemble_file(file2)
time.sleep(5)
xtext = app('CodeWarrior IDE').document[1].text

However, instead of the text that I expect, xtext is equal to 
'app('CodeWarrior IDE').document[1].text.all'

Bill Fancher looked at CodeWarrior and said that it is 
returning cText which is not being handled by Python.

Oops!  I forgot to check the stupid (and unneccessary) checkbox.

Here is a project, applescript and python script.  You will have to 
change the paths in the script to wherever you place the project.  
Also, there is a bug in the last line of the python script because I 
can't remember the exact syntax I had to use to capture the text 
from CodeWarrior.  Maybe you will have better luck than me.

I will create a project and attach it, however, you cannot use 
CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.5 because there is are bugs in it that have 
to do with AppleEvents.  You have to use v 5.0 of the IDE.

Robin,
you have to give a more complete example. I can get neither the applescript nor the Python program to work. I've filled in valid filenames for file1 and file2, but the Applescript keeps giving the error "CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.5 got an error: Bad name for file. some object".

Could you maybe create a sample soucre file (plus project?) and the real AppleScript you used, and pack it all up?

I made a typo:
    xtext = app('CodeWarrior IDE').document[1].text 
should be:
    xtext = cw.get(CodeWarrior.text(CodeWarrior.document(1)))
