[Pythonmac-SIG] trouble getting window bounds via appscript

[Todd]

I'd like to perform some window management via appscript on Mac OSX 
(10.6.2).

This is pretty straightforward using AppleScript (see code#1 below). 
However, my attempts to perform the same tasks in python appscript have 
failed:

1. get bounds of display
2. get bounds of foreground process

I can query the 'System Events' for the process list, and get the 
foremost process...however, I cannot get the bounds from the windows. 
(see code#2 below).

The appscript error is:
------------------------------------------------
CommandError: Command failed:
                 OSERROR: -1728
                 MESSAGE: Can't get reference.
                 OFFENDING OBJECT: 
app(u'/System/Library/CoreServices/System 
Events.app').application_processes[u'iTerm'].windows[u'todd at greenmachine: ~/Documents/projects/python/windowmanager'].bounds
                 COMMAND: app(u'/System/Library/CoreServices/System 
Events.app').application_processes[u'iTerm'].windows[u'todd at greenmachine: ~/Documents/projects/python/windowmanager'].bounds.get()
------------------------------------------------

Any advice out there?

CODE#1 (AppleScript)
