[Pythonmac-SIG] Automation on Mac OS X?

There is also QuickKeys which is a little more robust and once you get by
all the gotchas you can do some pretty nifty automation using QK/AppleScript
which CAN talk to each other. I have OSX running and I'll take a look at
whether QK runs under OSX on Monday. My daughter is graduating so I'm
working from home on Friday and don't have the QK installers here. I'll post
one way or another though....

ps Take a look in Python 2.1:Mac:Contrib folder. There's an AE parser which
might help as well as a couple of BBEdit extensions/plug-ins which are based
on AppleScript and AE. I will say this, Python runs like a dream on OSX!!!!!
Thanks Mr. Jansen.....

I always used to use KeyQuencer. It was a bit strange but easy to install
and could be controlled via AppleScript ( or I imagine python)

I've no idea if it works with X but it's worth a whirl
