Summary: OSA handling of toplevel properties is weird

Initial Comment:
Handling toplevel properties (i.e. properties of the 
application) in Python is strange. In applescript you can say
"get player state" to iTunes and it will tell you whether it is 
playing or not.

In Python you have to do 
xx.get(iTunes.iTunes_Suite._Prop_player_state()), which I 
actually found by accident:-)

Why you have to use the funny name I know (and can fix), 
but the strange call of the property object is a mystery to 
me. "get name of window 1" translates to 
"xx.get(iTunes.window(1).name)", but even 
"xx.get(iTunes.application(0).name)" doesn't.
