[Pythonmac-SIG] Python CoreGraphics script running in Applescript
I have a script that needs to get the height and width dimensions of the media box of a PDF using Applescript. In OS X 10.4, I was using the following: set shellScript to python quoted form of PythonPath POSIXThisFile set dims to every paragraph of (do shell script shellScript) The PythonPath is a path to the below Python script and the POSIXThisFile is the path to the PDF. The response is two paragraphs where paragraph 1 is the width and paragraph 2 is the height. Here¹s the python script: # step 1: import the required modules import os, sys from CoreGraphics import * if len( sys.argv ) != 2: print ERROR: useage: python example2.py pdf_filename sys.exit(1) # step 2: read the pdf file name from the command line arguments pdf_filename = sys.argv[1] pdf_name, ext = os.path.splitext( pdf_filename ) # step 3: create the input PDF document provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename( pdf_filename ) pdf = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider( provider ) if pdf is None: print ERROR reading PDF document - \r\n check that the supplied filename points to a PDF file sys.exit(1) page_number = 1 page_rect = pdf.getMediaBox( page_number ) page_width = int(page_rect.getWidth()) page_height = int(page_rect.getHeight()) print %d \r\n%d % (page_width, page_height) Under OS 10.5, this script now uses a deprecated function of CoreGraphics and I get an error that says: Error: The function `CGPDFDocumentGetMediaBox' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance. Please use `CGPDFPageGetBoxRect' instead. Can anyone steer me in the right direction on how to work with the CGPDFPageGetBoxRect function? Thanks.

Appscript builds as 32-bit fat by default, so when the linker tries to link in the PPC versions all the Carbon libraries it can't find the fat version of libPng that Carbon normally expects. The best solution would be to rebuild your custom libPng installation as 4-way fat, otherwise you'll run into the same problem when building other fat projects.

[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript rocket-in-dock preventing logout
We discussed this a bit last year, but with no resolution that I remember. I've got a situation where a Python program is preventing logout/shutdown. It's a script that just runs in an endless loop watching what app I'm working with; when it sees one it knows (Preview, MS Word, Safari, etc.) it uses appscript to ask the app what document I'm looking at. It then squirrels that document away in a journal so that I've got a record of what I've been working with. The basic control loop is something like this: while True: ... see what's running, and possibly what document ... time.sleep(1.0) When I fire this up, it creates a Python rocket icon in the dock. Not great, but I can live with it. But it also prevents logout and shutdown from working -- I keep getting the message Logout has timed out because the application Python has failed to quit. Does anyone know what I've got to do to this script to keep it from preventing logout? For bonus points, what do I have to do to keep it from putting the rocket in the dock?

I have a few questions about Python Objective-C. First, how is the development of python3 objective-C going?will python3.0 objective3 be implimented with the Leopard scripting bridge?
