| While usable, MacPython's high-level Apple event-based inter- application communication (IAC) support is not as good as it could be. As a first step to overhauling it, I'd like to suggest replacing the aepack.py, aetools.py, aetypes.py and gensuitemodule.py modules with appscript, a new MacPython- Apple Event Manager bridge [c/o yrs truly] submitted here for your consideration: http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/appscript.html (Note: appscript development is ongoing as of 3/14/04. Assuming provisional acceptance, some discussion of Things To Be Done Before It's Included will be needed; the MacPython SIG might be a good place for this.) | ||

| IAC is now 'Apple events', the IPC behind AppleScript. | ||

| As of Python 2.6/3.0, all Mac-specific modules are deprecated/eliminated from the standard library and there are no longer any plans to submit appscript for possible inclusion. This issue should be rejected and closed. |
