That's not true at all. There's a Carbon.QuickTime module that can do most of what QuickTime does (none of which is very easy, unfortunately), and you can get at any of the Cocoa stuff (NSMovie, etc.) using PyObjC (which is a lot easier). Of course, you can also talk to the QuickTime player via apple events (AppleScript, etc.). -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
