[Pythonmac-SIG] Python OCR on the Mac?

I've heard from OCR experts that most (all?) open-source OCR is of
very poor quality, so I was hoping that some other commercial product
had an embedded OCR in it that would be available through Python.

The Gamera project is interesting, being both Python-based and
Mac-friendly, but they tend towards research topics like recognizing
musical notes on a 200-year-old printed score, rather than
bread-and-butter textual OCR.
