I hope I'm in the correct place with this problem -- I've found this

probably falls between python and AppleScript but I've not been able
to find any clues on the web or in this list's archives. Please let
me know if there's a better place for me to post this!
Application-specific questions (e.g. "how do I create and send an
email in Mail?") may be directed here and/or to applescript-users;
wherever you think's appropriate. Questions on py-appscript itself are
best directed here, since those are primarily related to Python.
I'm trying to script a Cocoa app I wrote to establish user level
tests. To that end I'm trying to populate a table view (backed by
Core Data) with entries. Thanks to Prefab's UI Browser I've had
little trouble identifying and accessing the UI controls from py-
appscript. However, progress has ground to a halt when I tried to
change a value in a table view cell. The code is the following:

Should work, although hard to say why it isn't without some more
detail. A couple pointers:
- If you're on Python 2.6, make sure you're using py-appscript 0.19.0
(which includes a workaround for a known problem in Python 2.6's
UTF-16 codec). You can either grab it from the svn trunk or wait a few
days for the official file release.
- If you're on 2.5 or earlier, post the complete appscript code you're
using to set the text field's value and the Python value you get when
you get it so we can take a look, e.g. something like:
ref = app('AppName').windows['Untitled'].splitter_groups[1] \
.scroll_areas[3].tables[1].rows[1].text_fields[1]
s = '<string>'
ref.value.set(s)
t = ref.value()
print (s, t, s == t)
# Result: ...
