Hi
I'm trying to create the python equivalent of the following applescript
(eeeek!)
tell application "Finder" of machine "Monster"
beep
-- or anything else
end tell
This creates an AE object that claims to be application 'Finder' of
machines 'Monsta':
remoteapp = AppleScript_Suite.application("Finder",
fr=AppleScript_Suite.machine("Monster"))
But how do I get to 'tell' anything? Any object that's related to
aetools.TalkTo needs a 4 character signature i.e. "MACS" for the Finder.
But there's no no signature for a remote application? TalkTo won't accept
the remoteapp object.
Aside: my AECapture script doesn't work for this: the AECapture control
panel says the target of the above applescript is "". I'm guessing the
events too new and it can't parse them or something.
I know there are alternative python ways to talk to other machines
directly using sockets, but this is not what I want.
Thanks,
