According to a report on macpython-sig the argvemulator module doesn't work on intel macs due to endianness issues. This seems to be a problem in aepack/aetypes. The attached version of argvemulator should fix the problem by not using aepack and friends and was written by has. I know to little of AppleEvents and the aepack module to actually fix this at this point in time. I propose to replace argvemulator by the attached version.

Logged In: YES user_id=580910 The new version seems to be not entirely equivalent to the current version, I was using argvemulator in the .app wrapper for IDLE and that now behaves differently: before it opened quite slowly (maybe just due to my machine), now it doesn't make progress until the first time you quit IDLE.
