I can verify that one can use and Applescript in an App bundle to call 
a python script in it. I created an Applescript Studio GUI as a wrapper 
for a recursive file renaming and moving Python script and it works 
very well. You find the path to the script in the bundle and call it as 
follows:

	(* Find path to python script *)
	set POSIXBasePath to POSIX path of (path to me)
	set scriptPath to (POSIXBasePath & scriptName)
	set theResult to do shell script ("/usr/local/bin/python " & "'" & 
scriptPath & "' " & cmdStr & fileArg) as string
        -- where cmdStr is your options and fileArg contains the 
command-line args
       --  this is how I call it, there are other ways

I can verify that one can use and Applescript in an App bundle to call
a python script in it. I created an Applescript Studio GUI as a
wrapper for a recursive file renaming and moving Python script and it
works very well. You find the path to the script in the bundle and
call it as follows:

So I guess this means that having a script as the main program in a

.app bundle doesn't work under 10.1:-(

Just a thought that crossed my mind - would an Applescript work? =) (I

thought Applescript for 10.1 supported sending commands to the shell.)

</excerpt>

Yes, it does. 'do shell script "whatever"'.


I can't recall if 'quoted form of POSIX path' came in with OS 10.2 (AS
1.9)

or earlier. I think it was AS 1.8.3, which is a free update to OS
10.1.5,

but will work with all versions of 10.1.x. Maybe even AS 1.8.1, which

shipped with OS 10.1.2. OS 10.1.0 shipped with AS 1.7, which is not a
good

version of AS, although I think it had 'do shell script' already. Best
would

be to require AS 1.8.3 and do all testing in OS 10.1 with that, but you

could even go back to 10.1.0 and just not use 'quoted form' but always

include all the "\"" or ' quotes yourself.
