It might be worth taking a look at radmind <http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/ software/radmind/>. In addition to the LaunchServices SPI that njr mentioned, there's also System Profiler reports, which you can spit out as XML with /usr/ bin/system_profiler (there is a man page too). Not terribly fast to spit out a whole one, but that doesn't sound like a requirement. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
