[Pythonmac-SIG] Setting the Screen Saver

[Simon Brunning]

Is there a way of setting the OS X screen saver using Python?

The System Preferences ap looks like it's AppleScript (and hence
appscript) drivable, but I can't work out how to make it actually
change any settings.

I've also found the screen saver plist, but it's binary rather than
XML, so I'd rather not go there if I can avoind it. Besides, I don't
know if changing the plisty would take immediate effect.

Any hints?
