PyOSA Description

PyOSA - Python interpreter repackaged as an OSA language component, allowing OSA scripts to be written in Python PyOSA is Python interpreter repackaged as an OSA language component, allowing OSA scripts to be written in Python.PyOSA is an OSA language component for the Python scripting language, allowing Python code to be executed by any OSA-enabled application (Script Editor, Mail, iTunes, etc.). PyOSA makes Python a full peer to AppleScript.Appscript is an Apple event bridge, allowing Python scripts to send Apple events to applications. That's great when you want to control one process from another, but no help if you need a script that can call and/or be called by by its host process ("attachability"). For that level of integration/interaction, you need a full OSA language.PyOSA packages the Python interpreter as an OSA language component, allowing Python scripts to be attached to any OSA-aware application.It also integrates fully with Appscript, therefore allowing PyOSA scripts to send Apple events directly to the host process and vice-versa. This is essential for tasks like Mail rules and Folder Actions, which can't be done with Appscript alone.NOTES: 1. PyOSA is currently under active development, with some APIs and functionality not yet implemented and others likely to change later on as the design is refined.2. PyOSA is released under the MIT License.
