While usable, MacPython's high-level Apple event-based inter-
application communication (IAC) support is not as good as it 
could be. As a first step to overhauling it, I'd like to suggest 
replacing the aepack.py, aetools.py, aetypes.py and 
gensuitemodule.py modules with appscript, a new MacPython-
Apple Event Manager bridge [c/o yrs truly] submitted here for 
your consideration:

(Note: appscript development is ongoing as of 3/14/04. 
Assuming provisional acceptance, some discussion of Things To 
Be Done Before It's Included will be needed; the MacPython SIG 
might be a good place for this.)

IAC is now 'Apple events', the IPC behind AppleScript.

As of Python 2.6/3.0, all Mac-specific modules are deprecated/eliminated 
from the standard library and there are no longer any plans to submit 
appscript for possible inclusion. This issue should be rejected and 
closed.
