I just found out about appscript and am attempting to use it on my
macbook pro (OS X 10.4.8 and python 2.4.3). I installed appscript,
but the following is what I get when I try to test it out. Has anyone
seen anything similar to this? Any ideas of what I may need to do to
get it to work correctly. The same error appears regardless of which
app I try to control (and yes, itunes is running when I tried this).
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 18 2006, 16:14:01)
