Thanks. You're right of course, and thanks for the response. However, using such a method remotely won't work because you can't send the run command if the application isn't running already. RuntimeError: Can't get terminology for application (aem.Application(url='eppc://user:pass@192.168.1.3/Preview')): Command failed: Application isn't running. (-600) So I was hoping to figure out how to do that AppleScript line locally, and then try to do it remotely as well. The real AppleScript I wish to run in py-appscript is: set remoteMachine to "eppc://user:pass@192.168.1.3" set remoteFinder to application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine using terms from application "Finder" tell remoteFinder open application file id "com.apple.Preview" end tell end using terms from But I figured I'd start easier and just try to launch a local app with Finder. Any ideas on how to do the original question (or even better the above) using py-appscript? Thanks a million. Charlie

Awesome, thanks for the advice. As much as I'd love to see the "by id" solution, doing it by the file system name will work just fine. Thanks again for your help! Charlie

Using Finder to open app by id
by Charles Miller Aug. 22, 2009

Aug. 22, 2009

How can you run the following Applescript in py-appscript? I've tried everything I can think of. tell application "Finder" to open application file id "com.apple.Preview" Obviously, I just want to launch Preview from within py-appscript. I really want to do this in py-appscript as opposed to just popen/system or something because I'd like to eventually do it remotely (without ssh) so I can run Preview remotely and operate on the GUI remotely using applescript. Thanks, Charlie

Authentication via python?
by Benjamin Schollnick Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

Folks, I¹m working on some time machine scripting... In a gist, there is a .Backup.log file that I want to access via readline & python.... >From the MOSX gui, it appears some of the files require root access (eg. Authentication dialog pops up). Now, I am using the applet maker to compile the python to a GUI stub, so I can¹t SUDO the python script... Is there some method that I can use to authenticate via the python script internally? I¹m in the middle of a google search on this, but I am having no luck at refining my search phrase currently (Macintosh python authenticate)... - Benjamin

py2app & multiprocessing
by Gabriel Rossetti Aug. 20, 2009

Aug. 20, 2009

Hello everyone, I am trying to use py2app with multiprocessing but it doesn't work correctly, I get this : ImportError: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib-dynload/multiprocessing/_multiprocessing.so' not found I don't understand why it is looking for that there since multiprocessing is not installed there. I told it to include the multiprocessing package and it doesn't complain when I run python setup.py py2app. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks, Gabriel
