Sounds like you forgot to add an OSAScriptingDefinition entry

Also, bear in mind that sdef-only apps won't work in 10.4 or earlier;
if that's a concern then you'll need to provide an aete as well.
That worked, thanks. But now Script Editor complains about a "corrupted
dictionary." Looks fine to me. Any ideas?
Thanks to has for the off-list reply: I found a couple of errors in the
sdef file.
Now my app responds to Apple Events and doesn't complain about a
corrupted dictionary. However, I'm having some additional difficulty. It
appears that Apple Events are bypassing the bundled Python and are going
straight to the Tk framework instead. Tk/Aqua has pretty good
AppleScript support, and implements a "do script" command that will
execute Tcl scripts. My application responds to this code:
tell app MyApp
do script "puts \"foo\""
end tell
but returns an error message for
tell app MyApp
do script "print \"foo\""
end tell
because it's expecting Tcl code.
This is very weird, and I have no clue how to untangle it. My app won't
respond to Apple Events at all without a valid sdef file in the bundle's
Resources directory. However, if the sdef is present, the commands and
Apple Events defined there are ignored and are instead handled by the
Tcl/Tk interpreter and its sdef instead. To avoid this conflict, I've
tried removing the Tk sdef file, and changing the Apple Event class/ID
of my Python event to something else, but these have no effect.
It's possible to wrap Tk calls in Python code via ('root', 'tk',
'call'), and it's also possible to force Python code to stand in as Tcl
code via the "register" function, but I don't know if either of these
would be applicable solutions in this instance; if the Apple Events are
going directly to the Tcl interpreter embedded in the Tk framework, then
it may not really be possible to send Apple Events to a bundled Python
application using Tkinter.
Has anyone else encountered anything like this, with Tkinter or another
toolkit?
