[Pythonmac-SIG] AppleEvents in MacPython 2.3?

[Larry Meyn]

My thanks to Mark and Bob for their help.  I've thrown together the 
following crude function to generate OS 9 style path names under OS X 
for a scriptable application that needs them.


def makeOS9abspath(path):
	"""Returns an ":" delimited, OS 9 style absolute path.
	"""
	import Carbon.File, os.path
	
	abspath = os.path.abspath(path)
	rootdisk = Carbon.File.FSRef('/').FSGetCatalogInfo(0)[2].as_tuple()[2]
	abspath = rootdisk + ":".join(abspath.split('/')) #make ':' delimited

	if os.path.isdir(path):
		return abspath + ":"  #add trailing ':' for directories
	else:
		return abspath
