While most of us agree that using the OSA interface is the right way to
go in the long run, this 'quick and dirty" interface is useful for
testing and RAD. Thank you for producing this. Your solution is
well-encapsulated OOP and more elegant than my newbie Python skill was
creating. Very nicely done IMHO. Thank you again. Of ocurse I still
want to do it old-fashioned and more powerful way as well, but the
learning curve is much more steep.

<excerpt>The recent discussion of AppleScript and OSA inspired me to
finally
write a package I've been thinking about for a while. I'm calling it
OSATools, and it basically is a set of wrappers for the 'osascript'
and
'osacompile' OS X system calls. There are convenience functions for
several cases, and a basic but useful class modeling an AppleScript
interface.

Hope this is useful for someone.
