[Pythonmac-SIG] Okay folks--show me how and I'll write it up...

[Daniel Lord]

Here is an example of what we'd all like to see from the Mac Python  
Community (those Perl folks are way ahead of us):

http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/11/22/itunes_perl.html

And, as the saying goes, if you want it done--do it yourself. Okay I  
will--I have the time to learn and document and I will. But..
I need some help and pointers first:
1) I have a framework install of Python-2.2.2 and AquaTk on 10.2.1 but
I get simple errors even after hand-copying the Mac/Lib modules  
(including lib-scriptpackages) See ERROR 1 below for an example.

2) osam looks interesting but...the project file is corrupted so I  
don't have a template of what to include to build it. Any docs any  
where?

3) Is any of this fixed in 2.3a0--I retrieved it from CVS yesterday but  
hesitate to install it and ruin my framework install or,
  worse yet, pester you all with defects I induced by doing that.

4) Jack wrote message about installing MacPython innocuously over a  
framework install. Before I do this, does it work for 2.3a0?

5) any other docs, examples, etc. on how to use Applescript with  
Python--send me a pointer please.

ERROR 1

** I think Jack Jansen commented about this in a thread, but I cannot  
find the fix now.
