Concur, seems like the best practice way to install python is with brew.

I'm also very eager to hear an update, but PyObjC is going to be competing with
Swift now!

Let me add to the discussion Aquamacs. What I like about it most is that
it supports all the usual Mac keyboard shortcuts but you can also hone all
the power of emacs. It also has a command line open tool, full screen
options, the kitchen sink.

I want the result to respond to the Finder's dictionary, though, so
wouldn't I need the Finder to wrap it rather than from the mactypes
module?
comment.get() on the resulting object doesn't work.

Hello all,
A while ago I wrote a Python class around appscript that would avoid
(with calls to the shell osascript command) using the standard
addition library's calls like display_dialog because it required the
launch of Python Launcher, which slowed down the interaction with the

I'm pretty sure not.
Applescript doesn't let you register callbacks within the system, and

is hard-coded somewhere ...

Thanks Charles, I had forgotten that do shell script is a part of the
Standard Addition osax. Now I know how to run a script that needs the
user's permission without having to use some GUI scripts to get the
admin/password dialog.
How to translate this applescript into appscript?:
do shell script "sudo rm /usr/bin/file" with administrator privileges
Thanks for your software, has.

I've switched back to BundleBuilder, and it works fine. It takes a bit of

Hi all,
Quick question from someone getting used to appscript with python.
How do I coerce into a text?
reference.get(resulttype=k.text)
But that doesn't seem to do what I want it to do. In Applescript I actually
get the string, but in appscript I still get a reference.
Thanks for your help!
