Yes, it really is that easy. Actually, if you want to keep the drag+drop workflow you can drag an icns file and Info.plist template and it will use those. Any data files you drag in will go right into Resources (which is the current directory upon startup) too. I suggest stripping down the Info.plist file down to only the keys you would like to customize, though, so you don't end up overriding something py2app ought to control. It fills in the blanks for anything necessary. -bob ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] appscript: click command not working
Thanks. The workaround works. I'll be curious to hear how this gets
resolved.

Not sure. It works on 10.2 (where I am), but this is the second time someone's reported this problem on 10.3. If I can reproduce it when I upgrade to 10.4 I should be able to nail it quite quickly. In the meantime, I believe the alternate form works correctly:
app('System Events').click(app('System Events').application_processes['OSXvnc'].windows[1].buttons[4])

Yeah, I think based on what folk here have said I'll leave out HFS path support for the time being. If I start getting lots of requests for it I can always add it in later along with the relevant caveats, but if it's just an occasional thing then they can always get a POSIX path and use Jack or Nicholas's code to convert it themselves.

[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript: click command not working
Question from a newbie (to both applescript and python):
Can someone please explain why the following script does not cause the
"Start Server" button to be clicked?
#!/usr/bin/pythonw
from appscript import *
app('/Applications/Utilities/OSXvnc.app').activate()
app('System
Events').application_processes['OSXvnc'].windows[1].buttons[4].click()
The equivelant applescript works:
activate application "OSXvnc"
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "OSXvnc"
-- GUI Scripting statements:
click button 4 of window 1
end tell
end tell
Thanks,

Even if it did, wouldn't a FSSpec be coerced to a HFS path string along the way? I'm really not sure you ever really need or want to use HFS path literals, anywhere, ever, anymore. -bob ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
[Pythonmac-SIG] Repackaging for Tiger?
