[Pythonmac-SIG] [ann] appscript 0.4.2

[has]

Hi all,

Version 0.4.2 of appscript, my application scripting module for 
MacPython, is now available:

<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/appscript.html>

It's still rough in places, but should be sufficiently solid for most 
application scripting tasks. The main change in this release is you 
can now script creator code-less applications such as Address Book.

Requires OS 10.2.6+ and MacPython 2.3+. (Installation also requires 
the gcc compiler, available with Apple's Developer Tools.)


The following sample scripts are also posted:

- EmailURL
- PrintAddressBookGroups
- iPhotoToHTML
- iTunesAlbumsToHTML
- openFileInTextEdit
- selectAllHTMLFiles
- setArtistAndAlbum


Comments/questions/feedback are much appreciated.

Also, a couple of requests for help:

- I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who uses application 
scripting in professional workflows and would like to try Python as a 
more robust replacement to the AppleScript language.

- While the high-level code is fairly complete, I could really use 
some assistance on lower-level programming tasks (mostly Carbon API 
and C related): implementing coercion handlers (particularly between 
text and file objects), remote application scripting support, etc. 
(Apart from anything, I'd like to spend more time writing the 
documentation and less on learning C.;)


Thanks,

has
