How to use aeve for newbies
This aeve module sounds great, exactly what I've been looking for, but I must say that I have been having a ton of trouble getting things to work. Some more documentation would really help. To see what I can add to the effort, I've added this page to jot down my findings. - WinstonWolff Nov 03
Q: How do I Install this thing?
A: In order to install aeve on Panther you need these modules: - ww nov 03
pyrex - http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/
../LaunchServices - available on this Mr. Ippolitti's website: http://undefined.org/python/#LaunchServices
- TECManager - also at undefined.org
- Finally, you can install aeve. I installed all of the above using "python setup.py build" and then "sudo python setup.py install"
Q: How do I get started? I know Python, but I don't know a thing about ../AppleScript.
A: To get a primer on how to "read" ../AppleScript and understand it as a Python programmer, I found Apple's "AppleScript Language Guide" the most useful. - WinstonWolff Nov 03
Q: I've seen the iCal example of how to "make" an object, but I want to automate ../OmniGraffle. How do I create these properties to pass into make()? I've tried the following, but the iter Objects For Name() doesn't work.
1 import aeve
2 app = aeve.talkto('/Applications/OmniGraffle.app')
3 from aeve.Applications import OmniGraffle as og
4 origin = og.shape._aereg_.iterObjectsForName("origin", aekind="property", deep=True).next()
5 size = og.Standard_Suite._aereg_.iterObjectsForName("size", aekind="property", deep=True).next()
6 name = og.Standard_Suite._aereg_.iterObjectsForName("name", aekind="property", deep=True).next()
7
8 shape = app.make(new=og.shape, with_properties={ origin:(100,100), size:(20,20), name:"Circle" } )
A: no answer yet.
Q: I'm just having a really hard time finding my way around, where should I look for info?
