Summary: gensuitemodule.processfile fails
Initial Comment:
gensuitemodule.processfile fails for an application as trivial as
Safari, while the same procedure works OK on version 2.3.
On version 2.3:
>>> from gensuitemodule import processfile; processfile('/
Applications/Safari.app')
[lots of dialogs]
On version 2.4, same machine:
>>> from gensuitemodule import processfile; processfile('/
Applications/Safari.app')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in ?
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/plat-mac/gensuitemodule.py", line 222, in processfile
verbose=verbose)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/plat-mac/gensuitemodule.py", line 436, in compileaete
creatorsignature, dummy = MacOS.GetCreatorAndType(fname)
Error: (-43, 'File not found')
I'm pretty conviced the application did not move in the 20 seconds
between those two invocations :-)
Any suggestions?

Integration with the standard library should not be considered to be the holy
grail. Libraries outside of the standard library can be developed on a faster
pace than Python itself.
I wouldn't mind if the standard libary docs mentioned appscript as a better
solution than gensuitemodule :-)

Dunno. It should be finished in the next few months. You'd need to ask
Jack what the next entry point into the standard library would be.

Yep, you're right. On both 2.3, and 2.4, I get:
>>> import MacOS
>>> print MacOS.GetCreatorAndType('/Applications/TextEdit.app')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in ?
Error: (-43, 'File not found')
When will appscript be incorporated into the standard libraries?

I think the MacOS extension is broken. The gensuitemodule error you
observe on Python 2.4 is probably being masked on Python 2.3 by other
bugs that have since been cleaned up.
e.g. The following errors OMM (OS10.2.8, Python 2.3.3):
print MacOS.GetCreatorAndType('/Applications/TextEdit.app')
--> MacOS.Error: (-43, 'File not found')
Seems to work on non bundle-based applications, but not bundle-based
ones. Maybe you could check this and file a new report on the MacOS
extension if you can confirm it.

p.s. Note that gensuitemodule and friends are obsolete. See appscript:
