You might add a note that since findertools uses aetools which is [over]due for deprecation, findertools should be deprecated as well. Anyway, simplest solution here is: import subprocess subprocess.call(['open', '/Users/drew/Documents']) Or you can do it with appscript if you prefer: from appscript import * from mactypes import Alias path = '/Users/drew/Documents' app('Finder').items[Alias(path)].open() has -- http://appscript.sourceforge.net http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
