If you're not sure how to translate an AppleScript command to the
equivalent appscript syntax, ASTranslate is your friend:
app(u'System
Events').processes[u'Preview'].windows.buttons[u'OK'].click()
import appscript
appscript.app('System
Events').processes['Preview'].windows[1].buttons[1].click()
but I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/appscript/reference.py", line
492, in __call__
appscript.reference.CommandError: Command failed:
OSERROR: -609
MESSAGE: Connection is invalid.
COMMAND: app(u'/System/Library/CoreServices/System
Events.app').processes['Preview'].windows[1].buttons[1].click()
Error -609 means either the target application unexpectedly quit while
handling the event, or the command didn't complete within the allotted
timeout period (which should be error -1712, but the Apple Event
Manager sometimes returns the wrong code). So does the original
AppleScript work? If not, the problem is in what you're trying to do.
If it does, then see if the ASTranslate-based translation works.
