I'm not sure why Python's command line interpreter upgrades itself to a full GUI process when appscript runs - appscript hasn't needed a Window Manager connection since 0.16.0. I think the interpreter's auto-GUIfication code is just a bit over-sensitive: IIRC, it gets set off by the Process Manager calls when appscript connects to an application, although those don't require a GUI connection either. I'd agree it's probably a security issue due to Apache (presumably) running as a restricted user, though as to why it's the import that fails, I'd really need to see a traceback. has -- http://appscript.sourceforge.net http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
