mactypes is a very useful module, it is how I get the selection in the  
Finder via appscript whether using Python or PyObjC


def getFinderSelection():
"""List of aliases of selected items in the Finder"""
	return [alias.path for alias in  
app("Finder").selection.get(resulttype=k.alias)]

One way:

Thanks.  I think you're suggesting that I could take the "path" and
turn it into a File, and use the "path" property of the File to get
the POSIX path.  Would it be too much to ask for a one-liner showing
how to do that?  Using TextEdit if you don't have Word?

Can someone tell me how to convert the old Classic-style paths

as an argument and returns a Unix path?

Here's an example:


app('Microsoft Word').active_document.path()

u'wolfe:downloads'




That should be "/downloads".

By the way, I'll update the appscript Wiki page with the answers I

Have a look at mactypes.File and mactypes.Alias:
