Take the return value with a grain of salt: :program:`Internet - Explorer` appears not to be scriptable but definitely is. - - -.. function:: processfile(application[, output, basepkgname, edit_modnames, creatorsignature, dump, verbose]) - - Create a stub package for ``application``, which should be passed as a full - pathname. For a :file:`.app` bundle this is the pathname to the bundle, not to - the executable inside the bundle; for an unbundled CFM application you pass the - filename of the application binary. - - This function asks the application for its OSA terminology resources, decodes - these resources and uses the resultant data to create the Python code for the - package implementing the client stubs. - - ``output`` is the pathname where the resulting package is stored, if not - specified a standard "save file as" dialog is presented to the user. - ``basepkgname`` is the base package on which this package will build, and - defaults to :mod:`StdSuites`. Only when generating :mod:`StdSuites` itself do - you need to specify this. ``edit_modnames`` is a dictionary that can be used to - change modulenames that are too ugly after name mangling. ``creator_signature`` - can be used to override the 4-char creator code, which is normally obtained from - the :file:`PkgInfo` file in the package or from the CFM file creator signature. - When ``dump`` is given it should refer to a file object, and ``processfile`` - will stop after decoding the resources and dump the Python representation of the - terminology resources to this file. ``verbose`` should also be a file object, - and specifying it will cause ``processfile`` to tell you what it is doing. - - -.. function:: processfile_fromresource(application[, output, basepkgname, edit_modnames, creatorsignature, dump, verbose]) - - This function does the same as ``processfile``, except that it uses a different - method to get the terminology resources. It opens ``application`` as a resource - file and reads all ``"aete"`` and ``"aeut"`` resources from this file. - diff --git a/Doc/library/miniaeframe.rst b/Doc/library/miniaeframe.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 5bf1b07..0000000 --- a/Doc/library/miniaeframe.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,68 +0,0 @@ - -:mod:`MiniAEFrame` --- Open Scripting Architecture server support -================================================================= - -.. module:: MiniAEFrame - :platform: Mac - :synopsis: Support to act as an Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) server ("Apple Events"). - - -.. index:: - single: Open Scripting Architecture - single: AppleEvents - module: FrameWork - -The module :mod:`MiniAEFrame` provides a framework for an application that can -function as an Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) server, i.e. receive and -process AppleEvents.
