Hi, I am having some problems handling axes in Excel charts via python and
appscript.
I am using apple's stock python 2.6.1, appscript 0.21.1 and Excel 12.2.5 on
Snow Leopard 10.6.4
Here is how I am trying to get hold of an axis:
*c=app('Microsoft
Excel').get_axis(app.active_sheet.chart_objects[1].chart,axis_type=k.value_axis)
*
now c contains
*app(u'/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft
Excel.app').active_sheet.chart_objects[1].chart.axes.ID(131073)*
but if I do:
*c2=app('Microsoft Excel').get_axis(app.active_chart,axis_type=k.value_axis)
*
apparently I get the same result, in fact c==c2 returns true. Yet, if I try
to access c, I get an error, eg
*In [16]: c.maximum_scale()*
*------------------------------------------------------------*
*Traceback (most recent call last):*
* File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module>*

*CommandError: Command failed:*

* *
*COMMAND: app(u'/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft
Excel.app').active_sheet.chart_objects[1].chart.axes.ID(131073).
maximum_scale.ge*t()
but c2 works perfectly:
*In [17]: c2.maximum_scale()*
*Out[17]: 0.080000000000000016*
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if there is a bug somewhere?
