| """Tools for use in AppleEvent clients and servers. |
| |
| pack(x) converts a Python object to an AEDesc object |
| unpack(desc) does the reverse |
| |
| packevent(event, parameters, attributes) sets params and attrs in an AEAppleEvent record |
| unpackevent(event) returns the parameters and attributes from an AEAppleEvent record |
| |
| Plus... Lots of classes and routines that help representing AE objects, |
| ranges, conditionals, logicals, etc., so you can write, e.g.: |
| |
| x = Character(1, Document("foobar")) |
| |
| and pack(x) will create an AE object reference equivalent to AppleScript's |
| |
| character 1 of document "foobar" |
| |
| Some of the stuff that appears to be exported from this module comes from other |
| files: the pack stuff from aepack, the objects from aetypes. |
