Hey,
Well, it works (with thanks to Jack and Bob for getting me this far;):
#!/usr/local/bin/python
from Carbon.Cm import OpenDefaultComponent from OSA.OSA import OSAComponentInstance from aem.types import Codecs c=Codecs()
ascpt = ''' set s to "hello" & space & "world" say s using "Zarvox" return s '''
ascr = OpenDefaultComponent('osa ', 'ascr')
osac = OSAComponentInstance(ascr)
print `c.unpack(osac.OSADoScript(c.pack(ascpt), 0L, 'TEXT', 0))`
# -> '"hello world"'
Sweet. A couple immediate questions for Jack and anyone else who knows:
- Do I need to close components manually after use, or is that all done automatically?
- There's a bunch of OSAxxxx functions not currently implemented by OSA.so - what's the deal with those? There's a few I've not grokked yet, but I can see several that will be needed to build a comprehensively featured alternative to Cocoa's wimpy NSAppleScript.
- Has anyone tested or used the OSA package, written any example scripts, etc. yet? Or am I the first?
Ta,
