<p>Python has a fairly complete implementation of the Open Scripting
Architecure (OSA, also commonly referred to as AppleScript), allowing
you to control scriptable applications from your Python program,
-and with a fairly pythonic interface. The following pieces of
-AppleScript and Python are rougly identical (XXXX Not true right now!):</p>
+and with a fairly pythonic interface. This piece of
+Python:</p>
-<blockquote><tt><pre>
-tell application "Finder"
- get name of window 1
-end tell
-</pre></tt></blockquote>
-
<blockquote><tt><pre>
import Finder
print f.get(Finder.window(1).name)
</pre></tt></blockquote>
+<p>is identical to the following piece of AppleScript:</p>
+
+<blockquote><tt><pre>
+tell application "Finder"
+ get name of window 1
+end tell
+</pre></tt></blockquote>
+
<p>To send AppleEvents to an application you must first create the Python
modules interfacing to the terminology of the application (what
<tt>Script Editor</tt> calls the "Dictionary"). Use the IDE menu command
