Prev: New user documentation for ‘python-daemon’ (was: daemon.DaemonContext and logging)
Next: which pi formula is given in the decimal module documentation?
From: joanmg on 11 Dec 2009 03:13 Greetings, I've written a short document with some working examples of how to interface python with other applications in OS-X via applescript (had to spend some time figuring it out, and thought I might as well write it down). The examples include asking Google Earth for the latitude and longitude of the point at the center of its screen, or using the finder to pop-up a dialog window to get input from the user: http://juanreyero.com/article/python/os-x-python.html Cheers, Juan http://juanreyero.com

There is also a Python package that allows you to interface with an application's AppleScript dictionary via Python itself, without the intermediate step of using the osascript command-line tool: http://appscript.sourceforge.net/ You might find that of interest. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

Thanks for the pointers to appscript, and for the comments on the page. I have changed the examples at http://juanreyero.com/article/python/os-x-python.html to reflect them. Cheers, Juan -- http://juanreyero.com |
