[Pythonmac-SIG] OmniOutliner Appscript

Hello,

Has anyone successfully used appscript with omnioutliner? I'm have  
some problems with conduit setting domains.

The following applescript snippet works, but I haven't (as you can  
see below) found a similar way of doing things in appscript.

	set r to row 1 of document 1
	set the external id of conduit setting domain id "com.geekwerks.foo"  
of r to "asdasd"

The following doesn't appear to work
	d = app('OmniOutliner Professional').documents.end.make(new=k.document)
	r = d.rows.end.make(new=k.row)
	csd = r.conduit_setting_domains[its.id=="com.geekwerks.foo"]
	csd.external_id.set('asdasdasd')

The above code results in the below traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ 
lib/python2.4/site-packages/appscript/specifier.py", line 197, in  
__call__
     raise CommandError(self, (args, kargs), e)
appscript.specifier.CommandError: Can't pack data into an AEDesc  
(unsupported type): its.id == 'com.geekwerks.foo'
         Failed command: app(u'/Applications/OmniOutliner  
Professional.app').documents.ID(u'dQCDauyvBm2').children 
[1].conduit_setting_domains[its.id ==  
'com.geekwerks.foo'].external_id.set('asdasdasd')

Two potential gotchas:
- OmniOutliner only allows conduit setting domains to be referenced  
by id
- A conduit setting domain is created the first time it is  
referenced; no need to 'make' it.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom
