Any particular reason for wanting to use Scripting Bridge? Appscript provides a native API, better application compatibility and decent support tools, so I'd suggest taking a look at that first. > My problem is that I don't understand how I should translate the > applescript commands to the equivalent python code. ASTranslate <http://appscript.sourceforge.net/tools.html> is very handy when trying to figure out how to convert an AppleScript command to its appscript equivalent. Type in an AppleScript command, run it, and ASTranslate will display the resulting Apple event as Python/Ruby code, which should give you a good clue as to what to write in your script. > Here is a small snippet that I can't translate > > on createMessageInMailsmith(subjectText, bodyText, recipientList, > accountName) > tell application "Mailsmith" > set nm to make new message window > tell nm > set subject to subjectText > set contents to bodyText > end tell > end tell > end createMessageInMailsmith In appscript, I imagine this would read something like: from appscript import * mailsmith = app('Mailsmith') nm = mailsmith.make(new=k.message_window) nm.subject.set(subjecttext) nm.contents.set(bodytext) HTH has -- Control AppleScriptable applications from Python, Ruby and ObjC: http://appscript.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
