Appscript doesn't provide an API for calling user-defined subroutines. You need to drop into aem and use raw AE codes to do that. > i've set NSAppleScriptEnabled in my app's info.plist, and created > an sdef as suggested in http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript- > implementors/2004/Feb/msg00028.html > but i've not found any docs showing how to link the sdef to my > applescript... The simplest thing would probably be to call your applet's user- defined subroutines via aem: #!/usr/local/bin/python from aem import * playRec = Application(findapp.byname('playRec')) playRec.event('ascrpsbr', {'snam': 'initRecList', '----': [False]}).send() recList = playRec.event('ascrpsbr', {'snam': 'listRecDict', '----': []}).send() If you really want to add a dictionary, assuming you've saved your applet as a bundle, use sdp to convert your sdef to a .r file, then use Rez to append it to your applet's applet.rsrc file: sdp -fa playRec.sdef Rez playRec.r -a -o applet.rsrc -useDF You'll need to define your applet's handlers using the raw AE codes given in your dictionary, of course, e.g. on «event PRecIntL» arg ... end «event PRecILst» <command name="init rec list" code="PRecIntL" description=""> <direct-parameter type="boolean" description=""/> </command> HTH 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
