Hi all,

Announcing the first release of the all-in-one Appscript Installer package for Mac OS X 10.3.

Finally! :)

Appscript brings AppleScript-quality application scripting support to MacPython on Mac OS X. This package installs everything you need to control "Applescriptable" applications using the Python 2.3 runtime included as standard in Mac OS X 10.3.

In addition to a clean, easy-to-use, object oriented-like syntax for scripting applications, appscript also includes powerful built-in help facilities for exploring applications' terminology and object model - features normally found only in high-end commercial AppleScript editors.

To download Appscript Installer, please visit the appscript webpage:

    http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/appscript.html

To see some examples of use:

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're still working to polish appscript and finish its documentation, so all feedback is greatly appreciated.

It's of note that this installer patches your Mac OS X 10.3 installation of Python 2.3.0:


./System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/lib-dynload/_AE.so 100755 7096/7096 64348 3155963929

It's probably better to have its own local copy of this module instead, perhaps used conditionally when/if you're using a version of Python that adds the new features required.

Also, the extensions in this appscript installer weren't built with PantherPythonFix, so they are tightly bound to the Python 2.3.0 installation. If they were built with a PantherPythonFix'ed installation, then they would be compatible across all Python 2.3.x on Mac OS X 10.3+.

% otool -Lv ./Library/Python/2.3/aem/send/PSN.so
./Library/Python/2.3/aem/send/PSN.so:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python (compatibility version 2.3.0, current version 2.3.0)
