hi there,
i was wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior with the
findertools.launch() function. the docs indicate that when given a
pathname, launch(path) will launch a Finder window with that path. but
when i try to launch any valid path i get this error:
>>> os.path.exists("/Users/drew/Documents")
True
>>> findertools.launch("/Users/drew/Documents")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

MacOS.Error: (-600, 'no eligible process with specified descriptor')
>>>
i get the same error across reboots, on real hardware (x86) or a VM;
from a Terminal window or IDLE; with directories or files or
applications, etc. -- all this -600 error; (if i specify an invalid path
i do get a file not found error.) i mostly come from windows land (and
basically looking for a stand-in for ShellExecute), so if i'm doing
something horribly wrong please let me know :)
i'm using OS X 10.4.9 and MacPython 2.4.4 and can't think of anything
unusual that might be causing it. (killing the finder and restarting it
also does not help; the process is certainly running.)
thanks!
drew
