[Pythonmac-SIG] Announce: OSATools

[Daniel Lord]

I don't think so, but it is useful for examining the AE sent to and 
from scriptable applications and apple scripts. If one can build a 
Python program to reproduce the same AE stream as the script, then that 
is most of the battle as far as understanding Python OSA is it not? Of 
course I am new to this stuff, but it seems to me that this capability, 
while not completely replacing AE Capture, provide a reasonable piece 
of it. According to Mark Aldritt, who wrote Script Debugger, a lot of 
AE recording was broken when Apple went to OS X and he has some bug 
reports in to Apple on it. Script Debugger cannot record the Finder nor 
iTunes for example. So an AE Capture-like applications may not be 
possible right now. Then again...this is conjecture on my part, some of 
you may know better.

these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in
