[Pythonmac-SIG] Photoshop events from Python

[anand.vasudevan at wipro.com]

Hi,



Our application which runs on Mac OS X, uses the API Suite generated by
GenSuiteModule (provided by python) to communicate to Photoshop CS.

Most of the input parameters that would be generally specified by the
user such as rasterization options etc. are passed through the API
generated by GenSuiteModule and the dialog display is also turned off.



The API works fine in most of the cases but throws this exception when
there are additional dialogs shown by Photoshop CS like when the file is
corrupt or some fonts used in the document are not available: -



TypeError: unpack non-sequence



Following is the code-snippet from the application: -



import Photoshop2 as ps



ref = File.FSRef(path)

alias = ref.FSNewAliasMinimal()

open_opts = (EPS_open_options,   resolution=300,   use_antialias=True)

ps.send_timeout = 5 * 60

ps.open(*[alias], **open_opts)



After the 5 second timeout period, it throws an exception, when
Photoshop displays a diaolog box with message such as "The parser module
could not parse the file" or "The file was modified by another user.
Continue anyway? <Continue> and <Cancel> buttons".



Has anyone faced this problem before? Is there a mechanism to respond to
the dialogs shown by Photoshop, by way of sending events to press
Continue or Cancel buttons or send the error message back to Python
application from Photoshop?



Regards

Anand
