[Pythonmac-SIG] Scripting Sherlock from Python

[Jack Jansen]

If anyone happens to be looking for a project to fill a couple of idle hours: I
just noticed that Sherlock, the 8.5 search engine, is scriptable. Apple
Technote 1141, http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1141.html , has the
details.

It would be nice to use this functionality from the IDE. What I'm thinking of
is a script that you would invoke from the IDE that would get the current
selection (or interactively ask for a word) and that would use an AppleEvent to
Sherlock to lookup that selection in the Python manual (or FAQ).
