Generic information is here: <http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1234.html> Bob Ippolito wrote a PyObjC-based wrapper for the SystemConfiguration framework, which makes this very simple to do in Python: >>> from SystemConfiguration import UNSystemConfigurationDynamicStore >>> store = UNSystemConfigurationDynamicStore.alloc().initWithName_('foo') >>> print store.proxies() { AppleProxyConfigurationSelected = 2; ExcludeSimpleHostnames = 0; FTPPassive = 1; ProxyAutoDiscoveryEnable = 0; } If I enable a proxy, I get: >>> print store.proxies() { AppleProxyConfigurationSelected = 2; ExcludeSimpleHostnames = 0; FTPPassive = 1; HTTPEnable = 1; HTTPPort = 80; HTTPProxy = "127.0.0.1"; ProxyAutoDiscoveryEnable = 0; } You can download the wrapper from: <http://undefined.org/python/SystemConfiguration-0.3.tar.gz> -- Nicholas Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/njriley> _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
