-\sectionauthor{Vincent Marchetti}{vincem@en.com}
-
-
-The \module{aetypes} defines classes used to represent Apple Event data
-descriptors and Apple Event object specifiers.
-
-Apple Event data is contained in descriptors, and these descriptors
-are typed. For many descriptors the Python representation is simply the
-corresponding Python type: \code{typeText} in OSA is a Python string,
-\code{typeFloat} is a float, etc. For OSA types that have no direct
-Python counterpart this module declares classes. Packing and unpacking
-instances of these classes is handled automatically by \module{aepack}.
-
-An object specifier is essentially an address of an object implemented
-in a Apple Event server. An Apple Event specifier is used as the direct
-object for an Apple Event or as the argument of an optional parameter.
-The \module{aetypes} module contains the base classes for OSA classes
-and properties, which are used by the packages generated by
-\module{gensuitemodule} to populate the classes and properties in a
-given suite.
-
-For reasons of backward compatibility, and for cases where you need to
-script an application for which you have not generated the stub package
-this module also contains object specifiers for a number of common OSA
-classes such as \code{Document}, \code{Window}, \code{Character}, etc.
-
-
-
-The \module{AEObjects} module defines the following classes to represent
-Apple Event descriptor data:
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Unknown}{type, data}
-The representation of OSA descriptor data for which the \module{aepack}
-and \module{aetypes} modules have no support, i.e. anything that is not
-represented by the other classes here and that is not equivalent to a
-simple Python value.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Enum}{enum}
-An enumeration value with the given 4-character string value.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{InsertionLoc}{of, pos}
-Position \code{pos} in object \code{of}.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Boolean}{bool}
-A boolean.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{StyledText}{style, text}
-Text with style information (font, face, etc) included.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{AEText}{script, style, text}
-Text with script system and style information included.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{IntlText}{script, language, text}
-Text with script system and language information included.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{IntlWritingCode}{script, language}
-Script system and language information.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{QDPoint}{v, h}
-A quickdraw point.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{QDRectangle}{v0, h0, v1, h1}
-A quickdraw rectangle.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{RGBColor}{r, g, b}
-A color.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Type}{type}
-An OSA type value with the given 4-character name.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Keyword}{name}
-An OSA keyword with the given 4-character name.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Range}{start, stop}
-A range.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Ordinal}{abso}
-Non-numeric absolute positions, such as \code{"firs"}, first, or \code{"midd"},
-middle.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Logical}{logc, term}
-The logical expression of applying operator \code{logc} to
-\code{term}.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{Comparison}{obj1, relo, obj2}
-The comparison \code{relo} of \code{obj1} to \code{obj2}.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-The following classes are used as base classes by the generated stub
-packages to represent AppleScript classes and properties in Python:
-
-\begin{classdesc}{ComponentItem}{which\optional{, fr}}
-Abstract baseclass for an OSA class. The subclass should set the class
-attribute \code{want} to the 4-character OSA class code. Instances of
-subclasses of this class are equivalent to AppleScript Object
-Specifiers. Upon instantiation you should pass a selector in
-\code{which}, and optionally a parent object in \code{fr}.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{NProperty}{fr}
-Abstract baseclass for an OSA property. The subclass should set the class
-attributes \code{want} and \code{which} to designate which property we
-are talking about. Instances of subclasses of this class are Object
-Specifiers.
-\end{classdesc}
-
-\begin{classdesc}{ObjectSpecifier}{want, form, seld\optional{, fr}}
-Base class of \code{ComponentItem} and \code{NProperty}, a general
-OSA Object Specifier. See the Apple Open Scripting Architecture
-documentation for the parameters. Note that this class is not abstract.
-\end{classdesc}
