Thanks. You're right of course, and thanks for the response.
However, using such a method remotely won't work because you can't
send the run command if the application isn't running already.
RuntimeError: Can't get terminology for application
(aem.Application(url='eppc://user:pass@192.168.1.3/Preview')): Command
failed: Application isn't running. (-600)
So I was hoping to figure out how to do that AppleScript line locally,
and then try to do it remotely as well. The real AppleScript I wish
to run in py-appscript is:
set remoteMachine to "eppc://user:pass@192.168.1.3"
set remoteFinder to application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine
using terms from application "Finder"
tell remoteFinder
open application file id "com.apple.Preview"
end tell
end using terms from
But I figured I'd start easier and just try to launch a local app with
Finder. Any ideas on how to do the original question (or even better
the above) using py-appscript? Thanks a million.
