Thanks very much for your incredibly helpful and detailed  
info!  :-)    So if I'm understanding this correctly, it really only  
installs something in '/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages' (as well as  
an alias to it from '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages').  I'll keep the  
documentation, etc. as you encouraged.

Very cool!  Thanks very much for sharing this.  I'll definitely look  
into 'appscript'.

Thanks again Has, for taking the time to share all this!  I really  
appreciate it!
