Title: Message
Folks,
 
    I'm considering porting a windows python package over to the Macintosh....
 
    But one problem comes up....
 
    Is there any way to gather a list of applications that have been installed on
    the Macintosh....
 
    With the windows registry, we just look at the uninstall tree....
    It's not perfect, but that get's 95+% of the packages....
 
  I can't think of any way to do this on the mac... Except....
 
    1) Os.path.Walk & check for .APP bundles....
 
  Anyone have a better suggestion?  This would have to address all the connected
  hard drives....
 
  Also, anyway to tell what the current screen saver settings are?
  (ie. Screen Saver is set to turn on at XX minutes, and is password protected?)
