Moved PythonScript to unsupported at Bill Bedford's request. It'll go

away completely next release, unless someone complains.

+PythonScript
+------------
+v0.5 beta 1 24/04/98
+
+author: Bill Bedford, <billb@mousa.demon.co.uk>
+
+This suite of modules is a first attempt at writing a more user friendly 
+python/appleevent interface. The files in the suite are:
+
+PythonScript
+------------
+
+Loads three dictionaries generated by getaete into __dict__'s of three 
+classes and thus gives us direct assess to all the methods in the aete.  
+Each method now contains all the information needed to build apple events.
+
+The general usage is
+
+>>>PythonScript.PsScript(SIGNATURE, TIMEOUT, IGNORING) 
+
+where 
+SIGNATURE is the target application
+TIMEOUT is in ticks
+and IGNORING is a boolean and determines whether the script waits for a reply 
+from the target before going on to the next event 
+
+>>>PythonScript.PyScript(Event, Object, keywdarg1..., keywdarg2...etc)
+
+Object is a appleevent object specifier and is of the form
+
+PythonScript.PsClass.Class1(arg).Class2(arg)ƒ.Property()
+
+All applescript event, class and property names are capitalised to 
+distinguish them from python methods.
+
+getaete
+-------
+
+Reads the aete of the target application and returns it as a list of three 
+dictionaries, which represent all the events, properties and enumeration in 
+the aete.  (the fourth dictionary, comparisons, has never been implemented 
+in applescript so I have not used it) It also reads the applescript aeut 
+and adds any suites that are missing (ie where the application author has 
+set his suite to inherit from the aeut.)  and the applescript suite, which 
+gives the language methods
+
+printaete
+---------
+
+Produces a text file with the aete set out in a human readable form, 
+similar to the Open Dictionary command in the applescript editor.
+
+
+baetools, baepack, baetypes
+---------------------------
+
+These are direct equivalents of aetools, aepack, aetypes in the standard 
+distribution.  Some methods and classes have been enhanced others are 
+redundant
+
+PyScriptTest, testeudora
+------------------------
+
+A couple of test scripts.  Testeudora is an updated version of the one in 
+the standard distribution.
+	 
+	 
+	 
+	 
+	 
+Still To Do (in no particular order)
+-----------
+
+These modules are much slower than applescript.  I believe they could be 
+made faster by rewriting the aete parser in getaete and/or by putting in 
+some form of persistent storage so that the class dictionaries can be cached.
+	 
+The parsing of the appleevent replies need rewriting.
+
+Support for the use of scripting additions.
+
+A Python aeut needs to be written, much of the applescript one is redundant 
+in python.
+
+Probably a few other things I haven't thought of yet.
